Destruction of toxic chemicals by thermal treatment can be a highly effective method for remediation of sites contaminated with hazardous substances. Of the 977 Superfund source control treatment projects in the United States from 1982 to 2005, 16% used incineration or other thermal treatments (the proportion is similar for 126 projects in the period 2002-2005).(1) However, as with other technologies, if thermal treatments are not matched correctly with the site or are improperly operated, harmful by-products can form, requiring further treatment.
通过热处理销毁有毒化学物质可能是修复受有害物质污染场地的一种高效方法。在1982年至2005年美国的977个超级基金源控制处理项目中,16%采用了焚烧或其他热处理方法(2002年至2005年期间的126个项目中这一比例相似)。(1) 然而,与其他技术一样,如果热处理与场地不匹配或操作不当,可能会形成有害副产品,需要进一步处理。
