Additional concerns: dioxin from burning of chlorine containingcompounds (plastics,etc.). Dioxin: carcinogen, endocrine disrupter
Fly ash: from electrostatic precipitators. Bottom ash: bottom of boilerWhich is most dangerous??

Recycling TriviaAmericans consume 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour
If you drink 2 cans ofsoft drink per day in aluminum cans and cans are not recycled,you waste more energy than is used daily by one human in the lesser developed countries
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours
Recycling of all paper used in the Sunday edition of the New York Times would save 75,000 trees per year

Methods of Biomass to Energy Conversion
Direct combustion
Pyrolysis: thermal decomposition into gas or liquidInvolves high temperatures (500-900°C), low oxygen
Biochemical processes: Anaerobic digestion by methanogensControlled fermentation produces alcohols:Ethanol (grain alcohol)Methanol (wood alcohol)

Energy Used to Grow vs Food Energy
Ethanol from corn: 1.74 per gallon to produce vs 95 cents per gallonOf gasoline. 70% more energy to make ethanol from US corn than energy in ethanolGood use of ethanol: oxidizer to replace MTBE in gasoline10% ethanol boosts octane rating of gasoline, replaces lead.
