ABSTRACT
In many industrial processes, waste liquids are produced for which disposal by incineration is effective, economical, and environmentally sound. Such waste liquids include wastewater contaminated with combustible toxic chemicals, solvents, or oils for which purification costs are excessive, and heavy pitches and tars. Not all of these wastes fall into the category of “hazardous wastes” but it is noteworthy that the largest fraction of the U.S. hazardous waste incineration facilities involves liquid waste incinerators.
