Abstract
This paper introduces swinging-type waste carbonizing technology, and an energy saving process developed by combining a carbonizing system with refuse derived fuel (RDF) production from municipal waste. Applications of carbonized products are also reported. It is concluded that the carbonized products produced from RDF by this carbonizing system have uniform properties. Formaldehyde and other harmful organic substances are decomposed by the high temperature carbonizing treatment, and safe, high quality carbonized products are obtained. The JFE group is actively developing new applications of the carbonized products in various fields such as soil conditioners, adsorbents, coke substitute in iron making, and insulat-ing material.
