Control Properties of Solid Fuels from Waste

Abstract

Field and laboratory studies of the composition and properties of solid municipal waste have been performed, on the basis of which the quantity and quality of the recovered secondary raw materials and "tailings" of sorting, which are used as energy fraction or solid fuel from waste, are simulated. The elemental composition for dry ashless (combustible) mass for all considered variants of solid fuelcomposition from wastes is calculated. Presented is the ratio C: O and heat of combustion on a dry basis for different versions of solid fuel composition from waste. For comparison, the C: O ratio is shown for various components of solid fuel from waste: for synthetic materials (polymers, rubber) and for biodegradable materials (organic waste, waste paper, wood).
