MIXED COMBUSTION OF AUTOMOTIVE SHREDDER RESIDUES WITH MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE A SOUND ROUTE TO ENERGY RECOVERY FROM END OF LIFE VEHICLES... 

According to APME, energy recovery should be the preferred waste disposal route for polymeric materials that are very contaminated, bonded, laminated to other materials, or are at the end of their performance with respect to their physical/chemical properties. This paper takes a detailed look at energy recovery from municipal solid waste combustors, and considers the effect of polymeric materials.

An Evaluation of Modular Incinerators for Energy Recovery from Solid Wastes... 

Thus, the current installed capacity for MSW-burning modular incinerators with heat recovery ( 500 tons/day) probably represents about IT, of the solid waste collected from municipalities with populations ranging from 25,000 to 100,000. (For comparison purposes, note that the total capacity for energy recovery from municipal solid waste in the United States should be roughly equivalent to about 570 of the total waste collected by 1980.)... 

Energy Recovery from Municipal Solid Waste and Sewage Sludge Using Multisolid Fluidized-Bed Combustion Technology... 

One possible system which could be used by smaller communities is to combine source separation of solid waste with a simple PTGL process for energy conversion of the paper fraction of the waste. Since typical solid waste contains over 40, percent paper, energy recovery from the paper fraction could reduce landfill requirements by the same amount. 

Consequently, sampling contributes highly to a precise and detailed characterization program of solid waste. The data from sampling can delineate the major constituents of the waste, as well as its content in ash, moisture, and sulfur. These parameters are of high importance for the combustion process, as they determine the heating value, gas emissions, energy recovery, and process efficiency.

The most suitable processes for the energy recovery from polyolefin wastes are (1) direct incineration, and (2) thermal and mechanical treatments. The latter procedures are applied for the production of gaseous, liquid, or solid fuels in a complex pyrolysis-gasification-incineration system.

Resource Recovery Act, 1970 The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 was amended by Public Law 95-512, the Resources Recovery Ac4 of 1970. This act directed that the emphasis of the national solid-waste-management program should be shitted from disposal as its pri-maiy objective to that of recycling and reuse of recoverable materials in sohd wastes or the conversion of wastes to energy. 

Processing and Recovery The functional element of processing and recoveiy includes all the techniques, equipment, and facilities used both to improve the efficiency of the other functional elements and to recover usable materials, conversion products, or energy from solid wastes. Materials that can be recycled are exported to facilities equipped to do so. Residues go to disposal. 

The purpose of this subsection is to introduce the reader to the tech-niqiies and methods used to recover materials, conversion products, and energy from solid wastes. Topics to be considered include (I) processing techniques for solid waste, (2) processing techniques for hazardous wastes, (3) materials-recoveiy systems, (4) recovery of biological conversion products, (5) therm processes, and (6) waste-to-energy systems. 

TABLE 25-67 Typical Thermal Efficiency and Plant Use and Loss Factors for Individual Components and Processes Used for Recovery of Energy from Solid Wastes... 

The recycling of plastics waste is eonsidered with respect to energy recovery through incineration. It is claimed that burning solid municipal waste could produce nearly 10% of Europe s domestic electricity and heat and conserve resources by replacing, for example, over half of current coal imports to Western Europe. The potential for power from waste plastics and examples of energy from waste in action are described. 

This paper discusses waste management in the city of Paris. Data on solid wastes in Paris is provided, then the role of incineration, and the use of energy from incineration (heating network, production of electricity, total energy recovery), is examined. Air pollution standards are listed, and a comparison made between the different energies used for a heating network. Finally, future considerations are discussed. 

Units burning gas recovered from hazardous or solid waste landfills for energy recovery. 

Scrap metal comprises worn or extra bits and pieces of metal parts, such as scrap piping and wire, or worn metal items, such as scrap automobile parts and radiators. If scrap metal is reclaimed, it is a solid waste and is subject to hazardous waste regulation. Scrap metal is also regulated as a solid waste when used in a manner constituting disposal burned for energy recovery, used to produce a fuel, or contained in fuels or accumulated speculatively. This does not apply to processed scrap metal, which is excluded from hazardous waste generation entirely.
