Preface

The author of this book has been motivated in his writing by long-term systematic efforts to combine results of research and development with real applications. Waste-to-energy approach is a topical issue and therefore deserves to be discussed. Until the economic situation of humankind reaches satisfactory levels, people are determined to produce various types of waste, and this waste has to be processed somehow. For that reason, waste may be considered as a renewable source of energy and waste-to-energy (WtE) as an eligible way of processing. There are many established methods of waste processing and their hierarchy which differ from country to country. If thermal processing (waste-to-energy) is considered an eligible way of processing, environmental protection must be our priority. Since the environmental limits are more and more stringent, the technology has to be designed accordingly. Take, for example, dramatic changes in attitudes towards the environment in socialist countries when the political regime was overthrown; or the current situation in developing countries. Nowadays, it is vital to equip WtE technologies with
