USE OF WASTE ENERGETIC MATERIALS AS A FUEL SUPPLEMENT IN UTILITY BOILERS

[摘要] Waste energetic material produced during the manufacture of explosives has been considered a by-product waste which must be disposed of. Methods such as open burning or open detonation pose potential environmental risks while disposal in specially designed hazardous waste incinerators is costly. No current method capitalizes on these materials' inherent energy capacity. Efforts to utilize these wastes as supplements to fuel oil are under way. Laboratory and bench scale operations verify the principle while economic analysis shows a positive advantage using this approach. Pilot scale testing is in progress to develop fuel mixing/feeding procedures and to determine fuel mixture energy parameters.
