A new technology for refused derive fuel(RDF) utilization in circulating fluidized bed is under development. The RDF is tested in a bench scale circulating fluidized bed(CFB) combustor and its burning characteristics were investigated and collected as design parameters. The combustions were controllable and the HCl emission which is most important toxic emission were below 150 ppm at the exit of the combustor. The differences between conventional coal homing circulating fluidized bed boiler and the exclusive RDF boiler were studied and commercial scale co-generation CFB for RDF was designed.

The RDF is tested in a bench scale circulating fluidized bed(CFB) combustor and it's burning characteristics were investigated and collected as design parameters. The combustions were controllable and the HCl emission which is most important toxic emission were below 150ppm out of combustor. The differences between conventional coal burning circulating fluidized bed boiler and the exclusive RDF boiler were studied and commercial scale co-generation RDF CFB's were designed.

In the present work, life cycle assessments (LCA) of various waste-plastic recycling methods (material recycling, refused derived fuel (RDF), recycling on furnace, and pyrolytic oil production) were carried out to investigate their impacts on the environment. Six types of impacts were considered. While the impact on global warming was found to be significant, the impact on others were negligible. The impact values on the global warming caused by the material recycling, RDF, and the recycling on furnace were negative, which implied that their impacts could be noticeably reduced when waste-plastic are used as an alternative to newly drawn plastics. The pyrolytic oil production, however, showed positive value, which may be due to the carbon dioxide produced during electric power generation. The pyrolytic oil production had the largest impact on the ozone layer destruction, which was due to ozone depleting substances produced from the process itself. These results can be used as a useful data for the enhancement of waste-plastic recycling.

Combustion of RDF and wastewater sludge was performed in a 0.1MWth bench scale circulating fluidized bed combustor(CFBC), Combustion characteristics of the RDF and sludge mixture demonstrated stable combustion conditions. Component analysis, Combustion characteristics was measured before and after the test, and applications for commercial 1MWe CFBC boiler were prepared. The release of hazardous components such as $SO_2$ and HCl was relatively low values of 50 and 150ppm, respectively.
