Abstract
It has been found that trace concentrations of organic materials, including toxic organic compounds, oxidize slowly. Safe and reliable incineration of toxic organic compounds at low concentration is provided by injecting a clean fuel such as H.sub.2, CH.sub.4, or CO into the incinerator combustion chamber to promote rapid oxidation of the toxic organic compounds. It is believed that the clean fuel added to the combustion effluents raises the total concentration of fuel and organic materials above the second oxidation threshold so that the toxic organic compounds are rapidly destroyed.
