An experimental study was undertaken to compare the differences between municipal solid waste (MSW) derived solid recovered fuel (SRF) (complying with CEN standards) and refuse derived fuel (RDF). Both fuels were co-combusted with coal in a 50 kW fluidized bed combustor and the metal emissions were compared. Synthetic SRF was prepared in the laboratory by grinding major constituents of MSW such...

Part 1 is the first part in a series dealing with utilization of municipal solid waste �s an auxiliary fuel for utility class steam generators. It considers the resource characteristics of refuse as a fuel and the eco­ nomics of such use in comparison with conventional disposal techniques. The primary objective was to establish the impact such refuse use would have, if extensively practiced in ...

Efficient waste management, including proper utilization of municipal solid (MSW), is imperative for a sustainable future. Among several management options, pyrolysis and combustion MSW has regained interest because improved techniques. This work aims to investigate the thermal conversion characteristics refuse derived fuel (RDF) samples its individual compounds collected from Nur-Sultan’s land...
