A multi-kilogram capacity flow calorimeter was used in combustion measurements on municipal solid waste (MSW) and refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Cellulose (with and without sand), and MSW doped with PVC were combusted. Gas chromatography were used to study the combustion products. Chlorine mass balance experiments were conducted. Finally, the destruction of chlorinated aromatics by hydrogen atoms was studied. (DLC)
