Preventing dioxin formation during domestic waste incineration is crucial for the safe disposal of solid waste. This paper systematically summarizes the generation mechanism of dioxins during waste incineration, identifying chlorine sources, carbon sources, metals, oxygen, and temperature as key influencing factors. Focusing on three stages: Source waste blending and conditioning, combustion process pollution control, and end-of-pipe treatment of flue gas and fly ash, this paper elaborates on dioxin emission reduction technologies and their principles, proposing a comprehensive dioxin prevention strategy for the entire waste incineration process. By screening incoming waste and co-combustion selected industrial solid waste, the content of chlorine sources and metals can be reduced, while improving calorific value, thus reducing dioxin formation at the source. Optimizing "3T +E" (temperature, time, turbulence, and excess-air) combustion conditions can minimize the generation of incomplete combustion products. The use of inhibitors can control dioxin formation by passivating active metals, consuming chlorine sources, and inhibiting precursor sythesis. Aetivated carbon adsorption technology effectively reduces dioxin content in fue gas. Catalytic degradation technology, on the other hand, not only completely destroys the dioxin structure, but also enables synergistic control of multiple pollutants. Additionally, thermal treatment technology can efficiently remove dioxins from fly ash. This study systematically summarizes the advantages, disadvantages, and the maturity of the aforementioned control technologies, highlighting current research challenges and future research directions. It provides a reference for the development and industrial application of dioxin control technologies during incineration.
