Pyrolysis:<\/strong> Heat is applied to the waste, causing organic matter to break down and release gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other pollutants.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Oxidation:<\/strong> Air is introduced to ensure complete combustion of fuel and oxygen-rich gases. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Gasification:<\/strong> In addition to burning, some incinerators utilize technologies that facilitate gasification, where waste is partially oxidized to produce a syngas. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 vicissfuel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 vicissfuel<\/strong> is a fuel produced from the gases generated during waste incineration.
