Combustion characteristic of refuse derived fuel under oxygen-enriched atmosphere

The combustion processes of refuse derived fuel (RDF) under oxygen-enriched atmosphere were analyzed by thermogravimetry and the combustion characteristics of RDF were studied (the effect on the combustion characteristics of RDF by factors including plastic content, heating rate and oxygen concentration). Studying the combustion characteristics of RDF can provide important basis for the design and selection of combustion equipment. Meanwhile, the combustion activation energy and frequency factor were obtained by Doyle method, then the combustion model of RDF under oxygen-enriched atmosphere was established. This study provided essential basis for the spread and oxygen-enriched combustion of RDF technology.
