Steam gasification of char derived from refuse-derived fuel pyrolysis: adsorption behaviour in phenol solutions.

The increasing waste generation trends resulted in growing attention to the technologies that aim to reduce or prevent landfilling. The pyrolysis and gasification of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) allow waste to be turned into new raw materials, like pyrolysis gas and syngas. However, the wet gas cleaning processes result in the production of highly contaminated liquid waste.
