Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are among hazardous wastes that must be incinerated for
environmental and health protection. A dynamic model is introduced for the incineration of
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in a rotary kiln. The model accounts for variations in composition
and process conditions. The effects of excess air and the number of chlorine atoms in the structure of the
PCBs are

nonlinear equations of PCBs incineration. The proposed incineration model was found to be in good
agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature under ordinary feeding conditions for
chlorinated compounds.
