| Abstract: | Hydrogen gas and the valuable material hydroxylapatite have successfully been produced from biomass wastes by hydrothermal gasification. However, it was expected that toxic compounds might be produced through the reaction. It was therefore important to clarify whether toxic compounds were synthesized in hydrothermal gasification of biowastes since dioxins are categorized among the most toxic compounds for humans. This is particularly true of biomass wastes containing hetero-atoms in organic matrices. In this study, formation of the dioxins polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and certain dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were examined. Chicken manure and cattle manure were tested as real biowastes for hydrothermal gasification and the produced compounds in the liquid and solid phases were analyzed for detection of dioxins by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The total toxic equivalent quantities (the total TEQ) of dioxins produced by the hydrothermal gasification were found to be much lower than regulation levels in Japan require and therefore the products require no additional post treatments. |
