Refuse-derived fuel (RDF)-RDF-5 according to ASTM guidelines-derived from municipal solid waste and other waste materials, has been prepared as a fuel source for power plants in Japan. RDF has been known as a stable and safe solid-fuel. However, some spontaneous ignition incidents occurred during storage of RDF in certain facilities. In the present study, the storage conditions, which might induce the spontaneous ignition in RDF samples, was investigated to understand and prevent this phenomenon. When the initial temperature of RDF sample was consistent, higher water content and shorter induction times was observed (e.g., the induction times of select RDF samples with 5.8% and 16.7% water content, was 446 and 270 min, respectively). Also, the induction time was affected by the size of a RDF sample. No relationship between bacterial fermentation and spontaneous ignition was observed. The linear relationship between the induction time and the inverse of the initial temperature of the RDF sample was obtained in the Arrhenius equation. |
