Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Using Municipal Solid Waste Directly as Fuel: Biomass, Resin, Plastic, and Food Waste

Hydrothermal Treatment of Municipal Solid Waste to Produce Solid Fuel

This paper describes the application of innovative hydrothermal technology on local municipal solid waste (MSW) to produce low chlorine content solid co-firing fuel with coal. Raw MSW was treated at temperatures ranging from 210 to 235°C with 30 to 90 minutes holding period. The process yielded slump products which were then naturally dried to 5% moisture content, resulted in dry products with ...

Thermogravimetric and kinetic analysis of the decomposition of Solid Recovered Fuel from municipal solid waste

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...

Experience with Solid Waste as a Supplementary Fuel

The introduction covers the historical develop­ ment of the Imperial Metal Industries Ltd .. Power Plant and the psychology behind that development. The investigation into the concept of firing solid waste into boilers is detailed, as well as the final design parameters. Details are given of the performance achieved so far, including the problems that had to be overcome. Finally, the author giv...
