Abstract :
Solid Municipal Waste (MSW) is one of the important environmental problems arising from rapid urbanization and industrialization. On the average, 14000 tons of solid waste is generated in Istanbul every day, which adds up to approximately 5 million tons per year and 15% of this MSW is recyclable. Packing material is the most rapidly increasing portion of the MSW. In case of depositing such material in the landfill, the disposing costs and risks for the underwater reserves, soil and air pollution are increasing. Cement industry has an important potential for supplying preferable solutions to the waste management. Utilization of wastes having calorific value as alternative fuels is a widespread application in the developed countries. Some of the cement plants in EU countries have increased their alternative fuel utilization rate up to 60-70%. This application is accepted as an environmental friendly solution. İSTAÇ A.Ş – AKÇANSA and TÜBİTAK-MAM has decided to cooperate for a project in order to investigate the applicability of the technology of utilization of MSW in cement industry in Turkey. There are a variety of examples for such applications in Europe. However, the characteristics of Turkish MSW may differ from the European countries and standard solutions may fail. Representative sampling of MSW, testing the samples, determination of correct equipment, burning tests in pilot cement kilns and real cement kilns and determination of the effects of the Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) on product quality is in the scope of this project.
