Daborn, G R; Webb, M

Details are presented of the results of brief combustion trials, using wastes recovered from fragmentizer scrap processing as the fuel. Testing was conducted using two types of waste fuel sample, as-received and pre-processed, in a starved air incineration unit. Attention has been paid to the fate of the non-ferrous metals contained in the fuel and it has been shown that their recovery can be almost quantitative. During combustion no problems were encountered with emissions from the unit. It is concluded that the combustion of this type of waste is technically feasible but that further studies are essential to establish optimum conditions and process economics.
