In this paper, porous alumina was used as an alternative bed material to reduce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAH) emission during medical waste incineration in a fluidized bed combustor (FBC). In order to understand the reduction mechanisms of MAH and PAH, porous alumina, nonporous alumina, and silica sand (180-250 mu m and 250-320 mu m) were used as the bed materials. In comparison to the silica sand (180-250 mu m) bed material, the reduction efficiencies of Sigma MAH, Sigma PAH and Sigma PAH toxic equivalent (TEQ) by porous alumina bed material were in sequence as 91.57%, 58.90% and 73.23% during medical waste incineration under 800 degrees C. There were three mechanisms for the reduction of PAH under porous alumina bed materials. Firstly, the evolution rate of hydrocarbon was reduced by porous alumina due to its low heat transfer coefficient. Secondly, porous alumina bed materials could absorb more gaseous hydrocarbon and prolong the residence time of hydrocarbon in the diluted zone of FBC due to its higher BET. Lastly, the oxidization of the gaseous hydrocarbon was accelerated by porous alumina due to its catalytic effect. Thus, less light hydrocarbon, MAH and PAH were formed during medical waste incineration. The experimental results also indicated that the heat transmission, catalytic effect, and adsorption effect of porous alumina bed materials respectively accounted for 22.8%, 29.2% and 20.9% of the Sigma PAH reduction.
