Solid Waste Composition and Characteristics

Produced paper Recovered paper Amount of waste [% by dry weight]  

The amount and characteristics of ash resulting from energy generation and flue gas cleaning depend on the fuel and the combustion technology used. In the German paper industry the total amount of ashes in 2001 was 400000 tons. like all other wastes from pulp and paper processing, the ashes are non-hazardous and were mainly used in the constraction material industry. 

E)ue to the high proportion of plastic materials the heating value of rejects is more than 20 GJ t of dry substance. The use of rejects as an energy source such as secondary fuels for cement production can be Kmited by a rather high chlorine
