2. Waste ignition/combustibility processes
Gases or vapours may be emitted by :
liquids (saturation vapour pressure at room temperature, or vaporization by heating);
solids (gases emitted when a solid is thermally degraded by heating).
In the presence of air, these gases or vapors can give rise to flammable air/gas mixtures
or in the presence of an external energy source (pilot flame, spark, etc.) in the mixture;
or in the absence of additional energy: this is the self-ignition process, which requires higher temperatures to allow oxidation reactions to run riot.
