Municipal Solid Waste Separation, Recovery and Energetic Valuation

Municipal solid waste is a specific kind of waste due to its market inhomogenity and small marketing value of the constituents. Therefore, such a waste is deposited or burned, sometimes separated before or after incineration. Using front-end separation systems the energetic value of the waste increases and the amount of ash, slag and reject gases decreases, so the total mass of waste to be discarded can significantly be reduced. The separation process includes a rather extensive amount of operations – crushing, sizing, and sorting being the most important. In the paper the devices used in the mentioned operations are described, sorting result are quoted, and flowsheets for three variants of separation processes are given, with the basic indicators of their efficacity.
