Kinetics and modeling of combustion processes for various waste products

Nowadays demand for energy resource in the world has been becoming large and this trend will continue in the near future. Nevertheless, fossil fuels in the Earth are limited and it is not enough obviously. Under the circumstances, utilization of various waste products instead for fossil fuel as thermal resource is gathering attention. Therefore, combustion behaviors of waste products need to be elucidated in detail for highly efficient use of them as an alternative to fossil fuels. The purpose of this study is to measure the combustion rate of waste products under isothermal conditions close to the combustion conditions of an actual combustion furnace and then to clarify the reaction kinetics.
