Summary:By-product emissions of halogenated flame retardant combustion are calculated using the minimization of Gibbs free energy by the computer program "STANJAN." Although real combustion situations are not dictated solely by thermodynamics, some insight into potential emissions may be achieved through this method. The calculated byproduct emissions common to both brominated and chlorinated flame retardant combustion are Benzene, Naphthalene, Anthracene and Acetylene. Also produced are Hydrogen bromide, Bromine, Bromomethane, Bromoethene, Bromobenzene, Tribromomethane, Tetrabromomethane, Biphenyl, Ethene, Toluene, and Styrene, 1,2Dichloroethyne, Trichlorobenzene, Hexachlorobenzene, 1,3-Dichlorobenzene, Hydrogen chloride, Chlorine, Tetrachloroethene, Chlorobenzene, Phosgene, Trichloroethene, Tetrachloromethane, Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, and Octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. Trace organic by-product emissions decrease as more oxygen is supplied. As bromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers increases, trace organic by-product emissions decrease.
