A large part of municipal solid waste (MSW) still goes to landfills, representing an environmental concern. circular economy approach can enable safe management MSW while mitigating the increasing energy needs when is used as a feedstock in production processes (waste energy). Currently, be converted into refuse-derived fuel (RDF) through mechanical and biological treatment processes. This stud...

In connection to present energy demand and waste management crisis in Pakistan, refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is gaining importance as a potential co-fuel for existing coal fired power plants. This research focuses on the co-combustion of low-quality local with RDF mean reduce environmental issues terms strategy. The combustion characteristics kinetics coal, RDF, their blends were experimentally in...

This research focuses on the co-firing of discard coal with refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to utilize this abundant resource in South Africa for energy generation and reduce volume waste disposed at landfills. The potential a high ash content (> 40%), which is grade used some power stations Africa, its combustion compatibility two different RDFs terms emission reductions has been established. Gas...

A one-dimensional kinetic model for steam?oxygen gasification of refuse derived fuel in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor has been developed. The incorporates the reaction network within fluid dynamics to predict waste and tars conversion, gas composition overall performance. was validated by comparing outlet products temperature profile with experimental data from pilot-scale gasifier, operated...
