Perspectives of RDF use in decentralized areas: comparing power and co-generation solutions

Study on pyrolysis characteristics of refuse plastic fuel using lab-scale tube furnace and thermogravimetric analysis reactor

“…Using the slope of a line fitted for four data points for a given conversion ratio and the intercept of the line with respect to ln ˇ, the activation energy (E) and the pre-exponential factor (A) were obtained from Eq. (6). The results are summarized in Table 4 for the nine conversion ratios.…”

“…Arrhenius parameters and prediction of the pyrolysis time were obtained from isothermal kinetic results. Caputo et al [6] investigated the pyrolysis characteristics and emission mechanisms for flue gas of RDF. Cozzani et al [7,8] studied the devolatilization and pyrolysis of RDF with calorimetric approaches.…”

Integrated waste-to-energy conversion and waste transportation within island communities

“…In fact, such process represents a double gain: it constitutes simultaneously a considerable potential for reduction in reactivity of any residual landfilled material and the potential energy resource providing the excess of the recovered energy for further exploitation [5][6][7].…”

Comparison of energy and material recovery of household waste management from the environmental point of view – Case Kaunas, Lithuania

“…Several research groups [8][9][10][11] have studied the economy of the use of waste-derived fuels in energy production. LCA studies involving energy recovery have also been recently published by several research groups [12][13][14][15][16].…”
