cord-024045-mtfqaepe	Kuo, Jia-Hong	The prospect and development of incinerators for municipal solid waste treatment and characteristics of their pollutants in Taiwan	2008-01-24		.txt	text/plain	4221	213	44	This study focuses on the history of construction and development of incinerators in Taiwan as well as the characteristics of pollutants, such as heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Hg), acid gases (NO(x), SO(x), CO, and HCl), and dioxins emitted from the incinerators. Taiwan's extensive experience in incinerator construction and operation may serve as an example for developing countries in devising waste treatment technology, energy recovery, and the control of contagious viral diseases. In order to speed up nation's MSW treatment and resources recycling, the Taiwan government has formulated policies concerning the reduction of waste volume in recent years. Consequently, this study discusses statistics about pollutants like acid gases, heavy metals, and organics captured by the APCDs in incineration system during the past five years. Due to the improvement of flue gas treatment instrument/technique and the policy of resource recovery, all incinerators met the regulations of TEPA in heavy metal emission.	./cache/cord-024045-mtfqaepe.txt	./txt/cord-024045-mtfqaepe.txt
