However, the relative concentrations of brominated compared with chlorinated phenols indicate either unexpectable high levels of bromine in MSW, or a higher yield from the same amount of halogen (assuming binomial distribution between possible isomers). Literature data concerning the amount of bromine present in MSW seems to be scarce. We have therefore recently measured both HCl and HBr in the flue gas from two MSW incinerators, with the purpose of establishing a basis for comparison. The average concentration of bromine in these measurements varied between 3 and 5 % (w/w) relative to chlorine. In table 3 we present measurement data for diand trihalogenated phenols from peat combustion. |
