Thermodynamic analysis of the processing of municipal solid waste by thermolysis method

Today, one of the biggest problems of the city, the environment is polluted due to the rapidly increasing amount of solid waste and rapidly increases in population as a result of industrialization. The amount of solid waste produced per person in consequence of the change in consumption habits is increasing every day. This challenge is increasing concern about being economical and environmentally friendly technologies used in the disposal of waste and researches on the issue are increasing. All over the world context of sustainable development, waste management strategies aimed at converting an input is adopted for the economy. Integrated solid waste management is a process which includes waste reduction at source, reuse, recycling and recovery, starting with applications, consisting of waste collection and ending with final disposal. Several technologies are available to convert waste into energy. Basically, these technologies are landfills, incineration, pyrolysis, gasification and anaerobic digestion. Landfill waste is stored according to the principles of engineering. The resulting gas is used for energy production warehouse. In combustion technology, waste, incinerates by providing heat recovery and power generation is performed using steam turbines. Gasification technology at the first stage provides pyrolysis then followed by up to high temperature reactions and low molecular weight gases are produced. The generated gas is evaluated for power generation using internal combustion engines or boilers. This study was conducted a detailed review of the literature on energy production technologies from municipal solid waste. In the first part of the thesis, the importance of the study, describes the purpose and scope. The second section describes issues related to solid waste and made comparable with each other. Then recycling municipal solid waste disposal methods, landfill, thermal conversion technologies and biological conversion technologies are described, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis of pyrolysis which is one of the thermal disposal methods was performed. In the last section the results are evaluated and recommendations made.
