Co-combustion of packaging waste with domestic fuels in Finland

Domestic Combustion of Biomass Fuels in Developing Countries: A Major Source of Atmospheric Pollutants

Biomass burning has important impacts on atmospheric chemistry and climate. Fires in tropical forests and savannas release large quantities of trace gases and particulate matter. Combustion of biofuels for cooking and heating constitutes a less spectacular but similarly widespread biomass burning activity. To provide the groundwork for a quantification of this source, we determined in rural Zim...

Electrical and Electronic Plastics Waste Co-Combustion with Municipal Solid Waste for Energy Recovery

Combustion and Emissions Characteristics of Biodiesel Fuels

Energy Recovery from Automotive Shredder Residue through Co-combustion with Municipal Solid Waste

This project was commissioned by the Association of Plastics Manufacturers in Europe (APME) and the American Plastics Council (APC) to evaluate the operational and environmental impacts associated with the co-combustion of automotive shredder residue (ASR) with municipal solid waste (MSW) in a modem, commercial waste-to-energy plant. This paper describes the shredding and combustion facilities ...

Specific Surface Area Increment of Alumina Nanoparticles Using Mineral Fuels in Combustion Synthesis

Ammonium carbonate and ammonium sulfate have been proposed and used as two new fuels for synthesizing gamma alumina nanoparticles. The prepared samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), 2 N  adsorption (BET) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A comparison has been made between the properties of the nanoparticles synthesized by these two fuels and other conventio...
