Proposal for Implementation of Extraction Mechanism of Raw Materials during Landfill Mining and Its Application in Alternative Fuel Production

New approaches to waste management and the demands of circular economy have changed landfills. Over time, decomposition buried primarily determines amount recyclable combustible materials. This pilot study attempted assess feasibility extracting recovering energy-intensive raw materials from landfills by developing a extraction mechanism creating solid recovered fuel (SRF) production line for use as replacement in cement industry. The proposed consisted two stages. first stage was recommended be carried out on landfill territory screening fine fraction inert bulky waste. second should mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plant’s adding additional technological equipment MBT line. productivity SRF calculated 4.9 t/h. work tested at operating test site Lithuania. composition Landfill Mined Residues (LMRs) studied, energy potential studied part calculated, which 196,700 GJ. It has been found that produced complies with European Union (EU) standard and, according its classification characteristics, belongs class III can used clinker firing process. An environmental economic efficiency assessment conducted using kiln. calculation result showed 10% coal 2.51 t/h would save 1274 USD/h costs. will emit 3.64 CO2 achieve net savings 1355 USD/h. this aimed reducing converting into resources help economy’s goals.
