Characteristics of Mechanically Sorted Municipal Wastes and Their Suitability for Production of Refuse Derived Fuel
2012
Dace Arina, Ausma Orupe

The article presents the results of experimental work in the first waste mechanical Pre-treatment Centre in Latvia Daibe. The goal – to detect the main parameters for sorted waste parts and to compare them with parameters stated for refuse derived fuel (RDF) in a cement plant in Latvia (Cemex). Samples were taken in four fractions - coarse, medium, fine, metal. The parameters – upper, lower heating values, moisture, ash content, S, Cl, metals were determined. Results - coarse fraction has greater potential of the production of the RDF, but reduction of its content of Cl would be necessary.
