EVALUATION OF KINETIC BEHAVIOUR OF REFUSED DERIVED FUEL SAMPLES BY USING THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS

ABSTRACT
The intensification of municipal-solid-waste (MSW) production, energy usage, and the curb of the landfill have developed the need for our society to use MSW under the vision of a waste-to-energy (WTE) approach to eradicating MSW as well as to address the energy issues across the world. The WTE alteration is an environment-friendly way of disposing of MSW. This study examines the usage of plastic, wood, and paper for refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production. The RDF is solitary of MSW energy yields, whose dependability and superiority are analysed in the current work. Two different RDF have been obtained from diverse waste streams at the plant site to find the finest RDF based on energy efficiency. Plastics, wood, and paper are the principal constituents in the method of occupied RDF. The results exhibited that the RDF-PA holds a high amount of carbon as-well-as hydrogen content and a decent calorific value, which leads to better fuel quality. The retention time under combustion and pyrolysis, the volatile matter portion of RDF, has increased accordingly. As per obtained results, RDF-PA is a good option for energy applications and fuel for combustion and pyrolysis reactions.
