Lab-Scale Study of Temperature and Duration Effects on Carbonized Solid Fuels Properties Produced from Municipal Solid Waste Components

Engineering properties of municipal solid waste

Mechanical behaviour of the waste body controls many aspects of landfill lining system design and performance, including stability issues and integrity of the geosynthetic and mineral lining components. Knowledge of the likely ranges of waste mechanical properties is required to assess potential modes of failure and hence to design the landfill engineering measures. This paper provides a summar...

Environmental Burden of Disease from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator

Elemental balance of SRF production process: solid recovered fuel produced from municipal solid waste.

In the production of solid recovered fuel (SRF), certain waste components have excessive influence on the quality of product. The proportion of rubber, plastic (hard) and certain textiles was found to be critical as to the elemental quality of SRF. The mass flow of rubber, plastic (hard) and textiles (to certain extent, especially synthetic textile) components from input waste stream into the o...

Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators

more garbage than any other nationover 160 million tons of garbage each year or more than 1,200 pounds per person. EPA expects this to increase to more than 2,300 pounds of garbage per person each year within the next 1 2 years. Whether it is recycled, buried or burned, the fate of this refuse has major impacts on public health, the environment and the economy. United States citizens generate W...
