The variation of toxic pollutants emission during a feeding cycle was examined by field monitoring from a batch feeding updraft fixed bed gasifier for disposing rural domestic solid waste. Results showed that the content of oxygen in flue gas gradually increased

while SO

2

and HCl in flue gas decreased with time after feeding in a whole feeding cycle. Although large amount of CO was produced during the gasifying

low CO content in flue gas could be obtained after the heat treatment with an electric heating device. The distribution characteristics of dioxin congeners in flue gas indicted the re-synthesis of dioxins after flue gas heating

and the increase of oxygen promoted the synthesis of dioxins. The emission content of dioxins could meet the standard (0.1 ng I-TEQ·m

-3

GB18458-2014) of China when the oxygen content was controlled below 8.3%. Hence

for a batch feeding gasifier

low oxygen condition should be offered by reducing air intake at the later stage of feeding cycle in order to decrease the re-synthesis of dioxins after the flue gas heating.
