Abstract
A thermogravimetric (TG) and mass spectrometric (MS) study was carried out of the process of devolatilization of the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (OFMSW) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This involved an analysis of the heating profiles in an inert atmosphere for each of these residues separately and for a mixture made up of half of each by mass. The fit between the experimental and calculated values was checked by means of the least squares method. No interaction at all was observed between the two types of waste when the fit between the experimental and theoretical figures was checked, in the light of the low values obtained from the objective function showing fit. The study of mass spectrometry shows major emissions of energy-producing gases although fewer pollutants are emitted.
