The wastewater from the con- densation and gas puri ication stages is organically polluted and is purified in wastewater purification plant. behaviour and service life of important items of equipment and materials. 3. Results During the trial operation, the process, the plant technology and the mode of operation were optimised tosuchan extentthattheenvironmentalcompatibilityoftheprocessandplanttech- nology could be roven. It should be noted that even hi hlytoxicsubstances, suchaspolychlo- rinated dioxins, trans and biphenyls are decomposecgby pyrolysis in the temperature range investigated (5O0Cto6O").Thus,theresultsoftheinvesti ations byProf.Hagenmeiercon- cerning the thermal decomposition of dioxins and furans alsorbed on flue dust under inert conditions were also confirmed in this application. The pyrolysis oils occurring durin pyrolysis of the wastes had, as expected, high content of aromatics and could be marketeiwithout problems, even under the new Directive on Hazar- dous Substances. The heavy oil and medium oil fractions only contained concentrations of 2 polychlorinated aromatics exceeding those permitted by the Directive on Hazardous Substan- ces in cases where wastes were used which were highly polluted with dioxins and furans.
