Review article

The article presents the results of studies aimed at in creasing the efficiency of thermal neutralization of gas-vapor emissions. For this purpose, the problems of efficient oxidation of organic harmful substances in the flame of burning gas fuel are considered. The methodology of the work is based on a theoretical study of successive stages of organic oxidation under conditions of parallel developing processes of combustion of the main fuel. An analysis of special literature data on the efficiency of thermalneutralization is performed and a model of the process based on a dynamic approach is proposed. A complex effect of various factors influencing the behavior of the neutralized substance in flame is analyzed. The efficiency of options for feeding gas-vapor emissions to neutralization units is determined and the preferred option with mixing emissions directly into the blast air of burner devices is substantiated. Scientific and practical results of the work make it possible to significantly increase the efficiency of units for thermal neutralization of gas-vapor emissions containing harmful organic substances, and general indicators of atmospheric air protection.
