Unfortunately, MSW still contains plastics. In Japan, approximately
9.98 million tons of plastic waste was generated in 2008
[5], which accounted for more than 20% of the total MSW. Similarly,
in Northern Europe plastic waste accounted for 13% of the
total MSW [6]. This plastic waste contains organic chlorine,
generated mostly from poly vinyl chloride (PVC). Because chlorine
is known to promote clogging, corrosion, and serve as a chlorine
source for dioxin formation in a furnace, a chlorine removal or
reduction process is imperative. Current established chlorine
removal technologies are mostly focused on inorganic chlorine
removal by high temperature leaching [7] or by granular activated
carbon, which focuses on the removal of organic chlorines from
water [8]; therefore, the use of other methods, such as hydrothermal
treatment, is still promising to solve the chlorine problem in
plastic impregnated MSW.
