Abstract In the production (as co-fuel or alone) of solid refuse fuel (SRF),
knowledge about the characteristics of the raw materials is required for an ecofriendly and effective combustion process. SRFs are commonly produced by drying combustible waste and removing incombustible matter, resulting in a higher
combustibility as compared to the original waste. However, the characteristics
of SRFs may highly vary depending on where and from which materials they
were produced. Thus, we investigated the characteristics of various SRFs using
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). As a TGA sample is commonly small, on
the scale of milligrams, and, unlike homogeneous fuels, SRFs are… More >
