Seven typical components in municipal solid wastes (MSWs)--paper

food

textile

wood

straw

plastic and rubber were chosen as the thermogravimetric analysis samples in this paper to study the pyrolysis characteristics. By the thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) analysis

pyrolysis characteristics of MSWs’ components and pyrolysis endothermal enthalpy were obtained.The kinetic parameters of pyrolysis were determined with the Doyle method and a multi-stage first order pyrolysis model was proposed.The simulated results by this model showed good agreement with the TG experimental data.The pyrolysis characteristics provide significant parameters to a new concept of circulating fluidized bed incinerator

which can simultaneously restrain the high-temperature HCl corrosion and emission of dioxins.
