2 MODEL, ANALYSIS, DESIGN,
AND IMPLEMENTATION
2.1 Laboratory Melting System
The melting system consists of a high- temperature furnace, a secondary combustion
chamber, and one set of APCDs including a cooling unit collects the condensed water of the volatile
gas, a filter collects particles, and three-stage glass PUF cartridge adsorption collects the
gaseous phase compound as illustrated in Figure 1. The specifications of the melting system are as
follows. The high-temperature furnace has a width of 210 mm, a length of 280 mm, and a height of
220 mm, with a maximum temperature of 1600 °C, and the heat loading is 6.6 kW. The furnace has an
inner graphite crucible, and on top of this crucible is a cone-shaped cap hood for collecting volatile
gases. The volatile gases collected by the cap hood will be delivered with an Al
2
O
3
tube to the secondary
combustion chamber
for further
combustion or introduced to the APCDs. The secondary combustion chamber has an inside
diameter of 50 mm and a length of 1000 mm, with a maximum temperature of 1300 °C, and the heat
loading is 6.6 kW. The flue gas cooling unit with indirect water cooling has an inside diameter of 25
mm and a length of 1700 mm. The diameter of the filter is 51 mm, and each stage of the three-stage
PUF cartridge adsorption has a length of 130 mm. Three separate tests were performed by measuring
PBDE in the third stage of the PUF cartridge to ensure the gaseous PBDE are insignificant, , and
less than 2 PBDE mass was found at the third stage of the PUF cartridge. The waste flexible
PBDE were first cut into small pieces ca. 5 x 5 x 0.5 mm, and metals on the surface were stripped
off by aqua regia extraction. The waste PBDE was pretreated to prevent the metals from corroding the
equipment. The concentrations of Al, Cu, Ni, and Au in the extraction solution were analyzed with
the same ICP-AES instrument. When the metals were stripped off the surface of the waste PBDE by
the aqua regia solution, the concentration of metals was reduced by 75-95 and the weight of the
PBDE reduced by approximately 25. The experimental sample placed inside a graphite
crucible was put in the furnace; the furnace temperature was than increased to 850 or 1450 °C
at 6 °C min
-1
held for 30 min, with the secondary combustion chamber at 900 °C. The pump rate for
withdrawing gaseous samples was 10 L min
-1
. The batch experiment was repeated twice. After the
pyrolysis process, the bottom ash, fly ash, and cartridge were collected and analyzed to determine
the concentrations of PBDE on the basis of the National Environment Analysis Method NIEA
M801.11B of Taiwan, similar to USEPAB modified method 23A [3].

2.2 PBDE Analysis
Analyses of PBDE samples were performed in a certified laboratory in Taiwan to analyze
PBDE. Each sample was spiked with a known standard and extracted for 24 h. Then the extract
was concentrated and treated with sulfuric acid; this was followed by a series of cleanup and fraction
procedures. The standard solution was added to the sample before PBDE analysis to ensure the
recovery during analysis. Because of a lack of other standards, seven individual PBDE including four
individual PBDE sand three individual PBDE were analyzed
by using
high-resolution gas
chromatographymass spectrometry HRGCMS. The HRGC instrument Hewlett-Packard 6970
series gas, California was equipped with an RTX- 5MS column L 30 m, i.d. 0.25 mm, film
thickness 0.25 ím and splitless injection JW Scientific, California. The oven temperature was
programmed according to the following: initial temperature at 150 °C held for 1 min, increased to
220 °C at 40 °C min-1, then increased to 240 °C at 2 °C min-1, and then increased to 310 °C at 10 °C
min-1 held for 1 min. Helium was used as the carrier gas. The HRMS instrument Micromass
Autospec Ultima, Manchester, U.K. was equipped with a positive electron impact EI+ source. The
analyzer mode was selected ion monitoring with a resolving power of 10000. The electron energy and
the source temperature were set at 35 eV and 250 °C, respectively. The method detection limits of the
seven individual PBDE for bottom ash samples, cooling unit samples, filter samples, and glass PUF
cartridge samples were found between 0.318 and 4.132 ngkg, 0.001 and 0.008 ng, 0.001 and 0.021

, and 0.004-0.071 ngNm

, respectively. The recovery

seven individual
PBDE compounds ranged from 50 to 107 [3].

4 CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION
Total PBDEs concentration before washing is 23100, 33137, 30974, 24514 pgg, respectively,
occur at temperature from 1100

C. It has unstable concentration, causing by de Novo
synthesis. Total PBDEs concentration after washing has concentration from 392 to 394, with various
concentration. Its because chlorine had already wash out. Fly ash before washing has reduction
reformation through de Novo synthesis, compare with fly ash after washing. In order to develop
dioxin inventory, the activity data for the entire country as well as a local area need to be
established and updated by the environment protection department. In addition to air, PBDEs
are released to other media or compartments, e.g., water, land, product, and residue, which were
neglected in Taiwan. These issues need to be considered in the future.

ABSTRACT
Dam break flow has been the subject of intensive research for a long time. Dam break flow
includes several features of existing problems in the area of fluid mechanics, environment protection,
marine hydrodynamics, and coastal engineering. Dam break flow is widely used as a classical test
case for numerical simulation of free surface and moving boundary. Solutions are accomplished with
Smoothed
Particle Hydrodynamics
SPH technique using a pc cluster. For dam break flow
impact against the obstacle, the flow impacts on the vertical wall at t = 0.8 sec, at time t = 1.2 sec an
upward water jet is suddenly formed and over- turning wave with an adverse momentum is
observed at t = 1.3 sec. Impact pressure flow on a wall of the obstacle is 2.39 Nm2 and velocity in y
direction is 4.32 msec. Regarding dam break flow impact against obstacle-clearance, high velocity
and shallow water depth flow are happened in x- direction at t = 0.35 sec. The two flow face each
other and this two flow impact the vertical flow then simulate a splash. This happened at t = 1.1 sec.
The established SPH model is able to capture over- turning wave phenomena and splash phenomena.
