Numerical Simulation of Combustion and Characteristics of Fly Ash and Slag in a “V-type” Waste Incinerator

Abstract: This study is focused on a “V-type” waste incinerator for municipal solid waste (MSW) combustion. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are used to study the MSW combustion process. The characteristics of fly ash and slag are analyzed by using a laser particle analyzer, scanning electron microscope, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the error between the CFD simulation data and measured data is less than 10%, and the changing trend of the combustion process is well-modeled. … Show more

“…The velocity inlet boundary conditions were applied to the primary and secondary air inlets, and a pressure outlet boundary condition was used for the flue gas outlet, with an outlet pressure of −60 Pa. The combustion gas-phase products were simplified to CH 4 , CO, H 2 , CO 2 , H 2 O, and O 2 , and the chemical reaction of the combustion process was reduced to the following three parts [25,29]:…”

“…Comparing the simulation data of pure municipal solid waste combustion with the actual operation monitoring data on-site, the data error of the simulation results is within 5% (Table ), which can better reflect the actual combustion process in the furnace, and furthermore, we carried out the field test work.…”

“…The fermentation time varies from country to country due to the different water content and calorific value of the waste. In China, the calorific value of waste is generally low and the water content of waste is generally high, and the calorific value of fermented waste is generally in the range of 1800-2100 kcal/kg [23].…”
