Incineration is:

INCINERATION Incineration: Is a ‘high temperature dry oxidation’ process; It leads to significant reduction in waste-volume and weight (up to 70 – 80%). Incineration does not require pre-treatment. Biggest disadvantage of incineration: Generation of smoke. Types of Incinerators: – Double-chamber pyrolytic. – Single-chamber pyrolytic. – Rotary kilns. Temperature in an incinerator: – Primary chamber: 800° ± 50°C. – Secondary chamber: 1050° ± 50°C.
