Gasification Characteristics of MSW RDF

Abstract:

A series of gasification experiments of MSW RDF was made by using independently developed gasification device. When MSW RDF gasified at 200°C ~900°C, the trend of instantaneous gas production was increased, decreased, then increased rapidly after downward, 2 peak of instantaneous gas production were 500°C and 800 °C. When the gasification temperature is below 400 °C, except for CO, the content of various combustible gases are rarely. With the increase of the gasification temperature, bottom ash content decreased, but tar yield and volume percentage content and calorific value of the combustible gas increased gradually. when the gasification temperature reached 900°C, the calorific value of combustible gas reaches the highest, 28MJ/m³, bottom ash reaches the lowest, only 12%. Tar reached the highest value at 600 °C ~700 °C, about 40%.
