Steam gasification of solid recovered fuel char derived from landfill waste: A kinetic study

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

Evaluating of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Production from Municipal Solid Waste (Case Study: Qazvin Province)

Considering increasing population growth in recent decades, and consequently, the increase in waste production in the world, waste management and efforts to reduce their harm to the environment has become an important issue. One of the appropriate ways to manage municipal waste is to generate energy from waste, especially by RDF production method. On the other hand, in order to reduce the consu...

A Kinetic Study of CO2 and Steam Gasification of Char from Lignin Produced in the SEW Process

The reaction kinetics of gasification are important for the design of gasifiers using biomass feedstocks, such as lignin, produced in biorefinery processes. Condensed and uncondensed lignin samples used in the present study were prepared using the SEW (SO2-ethanolwater) fractionation process applied to spruce wood chips: the dissolved lignin is precipitated during the recovery of SO2 and ethano...

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...

Clarification of gasification behavior of solid fuel char prepared under CO2 atmosphere

This study aimed to examine the effect of CO2 atmosphere during pyrolysis of solid fuel on the gasification of its char by using thermobalance. As the sample, alkali-rich lignin was prepared. The lignin sample was pyrolyzed at heating rate of 1K/s to 700C under CO2 and Ar, and these chars (ligninchar-CO2, ligninchar-Ar) are gasified in air at various temperatures, from 700C to 1140C. The differ...
