High-temperature gasification of RDF wastes and melting of fly ash obtained from the incineration of municipal wastes

Abstract

This paper presents innovative solutions for thermal processing of selected components of municipal wastes (so-called RDF wastes) using a low-ionized dependent plasma arc generated by a progressive and promising plasma reactor technology. The application of this process can transform hazardous wastes into inert wastes while significantly reducing the overall volume of wastes. The experimental results presented in this paper show the outputs achieved with thermal disposal of RDF wastes and ash from municipal wastes.
