Abstract(s)

Portuguese legislation enforces adequate alternatives to municipal waste landfilling of organic wastes as well as others susceptible of valorisation. In the present work, the energetic valorisation of final municipal solid wastes rejected fractions is studied through the production of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). To accomplish this purpose several sampling campaigns were performed. Physical, chemical and energetic characterization of the rejected streams was done. Preliminary data allows us to conclude that studied materials have interesting potential to be used as RDF, particularly if blended with higher heating value materials in order to obtain RDF pellets with good combustion behavior, consistency and storage characteristics.
