Kao b a Institute of Environmental Engineering and Management, National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan, ROC b Institute of Environmental Engineering, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaushiung, Taiwan, ROC h i g h l i g h t s Microwave peroxide oxidation (MPO) is feasible to destroy PCCDs/Fs in MSWI fly ash. Nearly all PCDDs/Fs in original fly ash can be reduced at 150 C in 120 min. MPO provides potential to reduce actual content more than I-TEQ content of PCDDs/Fs. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Microwave peroxide oxidation (MPO) is an energy-efficient and low GHG emission technology to destroy Received 14 August 2012 the hazardous organic compounds in solid waste.
