Evaluation of MSW Carbonized Material for Fuel Usage

Abstract

The combustion performance of carbonized waste was investigated to use as solid fuel. The influence of fuel ratio on combustion of the car was studied experimentally using drop tube furnace. The results were compared with that of coal. It was revealed that the char of MSW have the same performance as coal if both fuel ratio are same. Fuel ratio of char depends on the major components of MSW and pyrolysis temperature in the production (pyrolysis) process. We estimated fuel ratio of char. Thermal analysis data of typical components of MSW was used for the estimation. It was resulted that we could predict the combustion performance of the char from the condition of pyrolysis.
