Undesirable Substances Reduction in Solid Fuel Recovered from Municipal Solid Waste of Russia

Abstract

Abstract There has been substantiated the approach to high quality SRF production from MSW based on the analysis of waste chemical and morphological composition. The method involves analysis of undesirable elements content in MSW morphological components and targeted removal of the components that are predominant carriers of the undesirable elements. The morphological components to be removed has been identified, the physical attributes of their distinction from target fuel components have been chosen, the methods of separation and related equipment have been proposed. The application of the proposed combination of methods to the MSW of Russia has been modelled with a favourable outcome on all relevant heavy metals and chlorine.
