Abstract
Preliminary Thermogravimetric (TG) studies of pyrolysed Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) – Coal blends (20 to 80%) at various heating rates, 20, 40, 60oC·min–1 have been performed to develop an efficient locally sourced renewable solid fuel. The characteristics of the coal/RDF blends followed those of the parent fuels in additive manner. Among the tested blends, 50:50 blends showed the optimum blend ratio but no synergistic effect was observed between the coal and RDF during co-pyrolysis. However, the kinetic analysis using modified Arrhenius equation indicates the existence synergistic effect between the RDF and coal, which induces lower coal pyrolysis activation energy.
