Pilot-scale grinding and briquetting studies on variable moisture content municipal solid waste bales - Impact on physical properties, chemical composition, and calorific value.

Low bulk density, variable moisture content, and particle size of municipal solid waste (MSW) create feeding, handling, storage, and transportation challenges. In this study, MSW bales were size-reduced in stage-1 and stage-2 hammer mill grinders fitted with 50.8-mm and 6.
