Incineration of municipal waste is carried out in the temperature range of ?

Explanation

This is the most common temperature range for modern municipal waste incinerators. At these temperatures, organic matter is efficiently combusted, and the destruction of pollutants like dioxins and furans is maximizedNow we'll look at why other options are incorrect.(a) 250 - 500°C: This temperature range is too low for efficient and complete combustion of municipal waste. At these temperatures, organic materials in the waste may not fully burn, leading to the formation of harmful pollutants and incomplete combustion products.(b) 500 - 900°C: While some incineration technologies may operate at the lower end of this range (around 750-850°C), it's generally considered the minimum temperature for ensuring adequate destruction of organic matter and minimizing pollutant formation. However, complete combustion and destruction of certain pollutants like dioxins often require higher temperatures.(c) 950 - 1300°C: While falling within the generally acceptable range, it's not as representative as option (d). Most incinerators operate at slightly lower temperatures within this range depending on specific waste composition and emission control technologies employed.(Environmental chemistry,Chemistry of Troposphere and Stratosphere)
