Polymer waste disposal of is one of the most pressing problems of our time. The incineration method is widespread, but it has its drawbacks. Problems during the polymer waste combustion, which include low combustion efficiency, combustion products toxicity, significantly reduce the possibility of waste disposal incinerators using. In this regard, t...

... the rest of the polymers, due to the combustion instability, no unambiguous temperature data could be obtained. The change in the maximum flame temperatures was used to estimate the relative change in the combustion completeness β (Figure 4). As can be seen from the presented graphs, the combustion completeness when an electrostatic field E is applied increases: for rubber and polypropylene by 8%, for polystyrene by 27% at field strength up to 150 kV/m. ...
