Refused Sludge Fuel System

The characteristics of organic sludge/sawdust derived fuel.

A fundamental study of the characteristics of a sludge refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and the combustion behaviors were done. The test data demonstrate good results for the development of energy recovery technology of organic sludge or waste. The ash deposit formation propensity has been based on pretreatment, temperature and the ratio of organic sludge to sawdust. The usage of organic sludge and wa...

Extracellular biological organic matters in microbial fuel cell using sewage sludge as fuel.

The microbial fuel cell (MFC) was applied to produce electricity using sewage sludge as a fuel. The extracellular biological organic matter (EBOM) of sludge, before and after MFC operation, was extracted using ammonium hydroxide whose hydrophobicity was characterized with XAD resin fractionation technique. Following MFC operation, the hydrophilic fraction (HPI) of EBOM was enriched (48.0%-64.5%...

Characterization of sludge from the extended aeration system to the activated-sludge system.

Evaluation of an Alkaline Fuel Cell for Multi- Fuel System

The performance of an alkaline fuel cell is investigated using three different fuels, e g., methanol, ethanol and sodium borohydride. Pt/C/Ni was used as anode whereas Mn/C/Ni was used as standard (Electro-Chem-Technic, UK) cathode for all the fuels. Thus, the alkaline fuel cell is used for multi-fuel system. Fresh mixture of electrolyte, potassium hydroxide (5M), and fuel (2M) was fed to and w...
