The thermal destruction of DDT-bearing powders / G.K. Lee, F.D. Friedrich, B.C. Post and H. Whaley, Canadian Combustion Research Laboratory, Fuels Research Centre.: M38-1/234-1971E-PDF

"Laboratory research with a pilot-scale incinerator established that DDT powder blended with inorganic carrier dust can be thermally destroyed. HC1, the residual product from complete combustion of DDT, was neutralized and removed from the flue gas by a combined water-alkali scrubber. Any chemically available basic cations in the carrier dust were found to neutralize equivalent amounts of HC1 in gas phase. Based on the experimental work, design criteria are given for converting commercial-scale incinerators for DDT/oil solutions described in Mines Branch Research. Report R 225, to burn DDT-bearing powders"--Summary, page i.
