ORIGIN AND FATE OF CHLORINE IN RDF PRODUCTION PROCESSES

The term ‘Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)’ has no official definition and is interpreted differently across countries. RDF usually refers to the segregated high calorific fraction of MSW, commercial or industrial process wastes. This is a much more uniform fuel than MSW with regard to particle size, heating value, water and ash content. This uniformity feature results in higher efficiency of energy use in an incineration process. In addition, a majority of the noncombustible material is removed from the RDF before the fuel is fed into the boiler. That reduces the size of both the fuel and ash handling system.

Chlorine is a key parameter for the describing the influence of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) quality on combustion processes. In MSW a wide range of sources of both organic and inorganic chlorine can be identified. Due to different separation technologies two main concepts of MBT plants can be distinguished. For both, the average TCC in RDF derived from household waste of 0.6 to 0.8% can be estimated. If commercial or production waste is coprocessed, a significantly higher chlorine concentration can be expected due to a higher PVC content in the input. For RDF the production from household waste, improving the fuel quality by separating PVC particles from the RDF has impact in terms of homogenizing the RDF rather than reducing the average chlorine concentration. solvents.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
