최근에 도시생활폐기물(MSW) 관리는 처리 기술에 관한 것뿐만 아니라 재활용 기술에서도 관심이 되고 있다. 그러므로 RDF(Refuse Derived Fuel)는 에너지 재활용 기술 부문에서 더욱더 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 RDF의 생산공정-전처리 과정의 기술적인 평가를 수행하였다. RFTF법을 이용하여 높은 발열량의 질 좋은 RDF를 생산하기 위한 최적 생산라인을 설계하는 시도를 하였다. 다양한 RDF 생산라인의 효율을 비교하기 위하여 컴퓨터 모델인 RFTF법을 이용하였는데 이 모델은 Diaz et al에 의하여 개발된 모델로서 RFTF(Recovery Factor Transfer Function)에 따른 물질수지의 계산을 하기 위하여 개발되었다. 결과적으로 년 연구를 통하여 최적의 RDF 전처리 공정라인을 추정할 수 있었고 경제성 평가를 수행하여 경제적인 공정라인을 제시하였다.

The refuse-derived fuel(RDF) is manufactured using waste plastics-based materials and its physical and chemical properties are analyzed. The manufacturing process consists of hand picking, primary magnetic separation, crushing, secondary magnetic separation, feeding and extrusion. The RDF products have a higher calorie content of over 6, 000 ㎉/kg and high stability because the waste plastics and paper are mainly selected. The combustion flue gas of RDF products is satisfied with the emission criteria of incinerator. The heavy metal concentration of combustion byproduct from the RDF boiler is also satisfied with the criteria and appears to be lower concentration than that of a common municipal waste incinerator.

To investigate the feasibility of refuse derived fuels (RDFs) combined of sewage sludge and combustible wastes such as substitutive fuels instead of a stone coal, several different RDFs made with different mixtures of sewage sludge and combustible wastes were analyzed by various experiments. The combustion characteristics for the RDFs were investigated by analyzing fuel gases, and heating values were also measured by a bomb calorimeter. The fundamental properties such as moisture contents, ratios of combustible materials, amounts of ashes, heavy metals, ratios of each chemical elements and heating values were analyzed in accordance with mixing ratios of wt(%) for researching the characteristics of the RDFs. $RDF_{k-1}$ was made of mixing materials which were dried sewage sludge, food wastes and combustible wastes. $RDF_{k-2}$ was made of mixing materials which were peat-moss, tar and sewage sludge. Combustion experiments were carried out at the optimal conditions which were m=2 under air-fuel condition and $850^{\circ}C$. The retention times in the combustor were set at 5, 10 and 15minutes. 50 g of RDFs was put in the combustor for each experiments. The ranges for heating values of $RDF_{k-1}$ with different mixing ratios were from 6,900 kcal/kg to 8120 kcal/kg. The ranges for heating values of $RDF_{k-2}$ with different mixing ratios were from 4,014 kcal/kg to 8,050 kcal/kg. As a result of this study, the heating values, moisture contents, components of chemical elements and mixing ratios of the materials in RDFs had big effects on the efficiency of the combustion. In $RDF_{k-1}$, the higher amounts of combustible wastes in the mixtures, the higher heating values, concentrations of $C_xH_y$ and amounts of ashes were produced. In $RDF_{k-2}$, the higher tar amounts in the mixtures caused the higher heating values, amounts of ashes, concentrations of CO gas and CxHy.

자원자원의 절약과 재활용 촉진에 관한 법률에 폐기물 고형연료에 관한 조항 등 폐기물 고형연료에 관한 제반 규정이 도임된 2006년 이후 폐기물 고형연료 에너지화에 대한 관심이 크게 대두되고 정부 및 산업계의 사업추진이 활발하게 진행되어 오고 있다. 본 연구는 국내에서 최초로 RDF를 전용으로 연소하는 pilot plant급 순환유동층 보일러를 제작 건설하고 RDF 연료를 연소하여 성능특성과 운전특성을 연구 분석한 것이다. 연구 과정에서 8ton/h급 순환유동층 보일러를 독자적으로 설계하고 건설하였으며, 건설 전 과정을 연구진이 감리하고 관리하였다. 보일러의 스팀사양은 $450^{\circ}C$와 38ata로 하였다. 또한 시운전 및 정상운전을 위한 운전체계를 자체적으로 수립하였다. 설치된 보일러는 장시간의 운전과 반복 실험을 통해 상용 규모 보일러의 설계 자료를 확보하였다. 운전특성을 파악하기 위하여 국내에서 생산되는 RPF와 RDF 각 일종을 입수하여 연소실험을 수행하고 그 특성 자료를 비교하였다. 폐기물 고형연료는 순환유동층 보일러에서 뛰어난 연소 특성을 나타내었으며 배연특성도 양호하였다. 성형된 RDF는 장기간의 운전에서도 안정적인 연소특성을 나타내었다. 다만 HCl의 배출 특성은 환경 규제치를 넘어 섰으며 별도의 배가스 처리기술을 적용하여 환경기준을 맞출 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 60ton/h급 상용규모 RDF 전용 순환유동층 보일러를 설계하였다. 보일러의 용량은 10MWe 발전과 12ton/h 증기 공급에 적합한 규모로 산업체나 지역난방용 열병합 보일러에 적합한 사양이다.

Information on the heating values of municipal solid wastes is very important in evaluating the feasibility of incineration and RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) manufacture. This paper describes the forecasting methods about the lower heating values of municipal solid wastes. The lower heating values are forecast by the heating values of physical components. The municipal solid wastes consist of paper, food wastes, textiles, plastics, wood and rubber (contained leather). These are the physical components of municipal solid wastes.

To verify the utilization of biomass as energy, the combustion characteristic has been studied by an experimental combustion furnace under an isothermal and non-isothermal combustion. The wood pellet, rice straw and rice husk were used as biomass samples in this work. The characteristics of emission gases, dusts and residues from biomass combustion have been analyzed and compared with those of reuse derived fuel (RDF). From isothermal combustion experiments, it was found that the incomplete combustion of rice straw was greater that that of rice husk, wood pellet and RDF. This is due to the fact that the combustion reaction rate of the rice straw was faster than that of other samples, and the oxygen concentration in rice straw combustion was rapidly decreasing. It was also found that $NO_{X}$ concentration of emission gas from wood pellet combustion was the lowest. From non-isothermal combustion experiments, it was found that all samples were burned before $900^{\circ}C$. Also, the temperature range of $NO_{X}$ emission was similar to that of CO emission, on the other hand, $SO_{2}$ was emitted at a higher temperature than that of CO emission.

The current enforce decree of "The Act on the Promotion of Construction Waste Recycling" divides seventeen kinds of construction wastes by property and configuration. Mixed construction waste, one of them classified by the enforce decree, is composed two more than justified construction wastes except refuse soil and rock. In construction wastes justified by enforce decree of this law, most refuse concrete and asphalt concrete of construction wastes are recycled. As well as refuse metal is separated, sorted from bulk them, and merchandised for value. Finally this is used the secondary manufactured products. Even though combustible construction wastes like refuse wood, plastics, fiber can be recycled RDF(Refuse derived fuel) or RPF(Refuse plastic fuel) because of high caloric value and low heavy metal but most of them are discharged as mixed construction waste and then treated by treated by incineration and landfill. Therefore, to control construction waste flow efficiently, construction wastes are classifies first combustible, incombustible, mixed combustible, incombustible and etc. in this study. The combustible waste is consisted refuse wood, plastics, fiber and etc. and incombustible waste contains refuse concrete, asphalt, and etc. Mixed construction is construction waste that can not separate from mixed waste bulk with different kinds.

A study on the preparation of RDF with ASR materials from shredder line of end-of-life vehicles has been peformed by using hot molding method. ASR materials used in the work were plastics, fibers and sponge which were cut by less than 10 mm in size prior to hot molding and 40, 60 and 80 mm mold in diameter were employed for RDF forming. It was found that heating temperature, heating time and mixing ratio of materials played an important role in the hot molding of ASR materials. Density of RDF samples Prepared in the work was in the range of 0.5∼0.9gr/ml depending on the hot molding conditions and it was decreased with increase in the content of sponge. Breaking strength of RDF samples was observed to 0.8∼3.0MPa and it was also increased with increase in density of RDF samples. Finally, when heating temperature was elevated, density of RDF was increased due to Increase in molten part of ASR materials which resulted in the enhancement of breaking strength of RDF.

Syngas was produced out of pellet refuse derived fuel (RDF) produced from an RDF production facility of W city, Korea. A two-stage gasification system was developed to use the RDF char as an auxiliary heat source for gasification reaction. The composition and heating value of syngas as well as the heating value of residual product (char) were measured at a different residence time to investigate the optimal operating condition of the two-stage gasification system for syngas production. The optimal char residence time to minimize the energy cost due to an external heat source supply was also deduced.
