Abstract:
A countermeasure to dioxin is implementation of the so-called "3T" principle (Temperature, Time, Turbulence), and prevent re-synthesis of dioxin in the treatment process of exhaust gas. To prevent dioxin re-synthesis, the temperature of exhaust gas after exiting incinerator should immediately be cooled to less than 200 degrees C, and the dust in the exhaust gas should be removed by a high quality collector. As the exhaust gas contains a high concentration of HCl, the selection of materials to treat the exhaust gas should be carefully considered.

Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...
