Reuse Potential of Municipal Solid Waste by Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Earth's natural resources are being depleted. To compensate this negative aspect, we need to develop a recycling-based society. The main objective of this study is to bring to light the potential energy of solid wastes. The energy efficient Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) briquettes are produced and it is emerging as a world-wide trend. The solid wastes were collected from the dump site of Sona College of Technology in Salem city. These solid wastes included paper, plastics, teacups, garden waste, and cardboard with the exception of glass, metals, polyvinyl chloride materials and textiles. The collected wastes were comminuted down to a grain size of less than 4 mm using cutting blades. In order to increase the biomass content and to enhance the thermal properties of the Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), a binding substance was used as an additive to the solid waste. Sago-starch of about 2% weight of the input materials was added so as to increase the combustion stability and also to enhance the duration of combustion for a longer time.
