In order to develop municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification and melting technology, two preliminary experiments and a principle integrated experiment were fulfilled respectively. The gasification characteristics of MSW were studied at 500-750 degrees C when equivalence ratio (ER) was 0.2-0.5 using a fluidized-bed gasifier. When temperature was 550-700 degrees C and ER was 0.2-0.4, low heat value (LHV) of syngas reaches 4000-12000 kJ/Nm3. The melting characteristics of fly ash were investigated at 1100-1460 degrees C using a fixed-bed furnace. It was proved that over 99.9% of dioxins could be decomposed and most heavy-metals could be solidified when temperature was 1100-1300 degrees C. The principle integrated experiment was carried out in a fluidized-bed gasification and swirl-melting system. MSW was gasified efficiently at 550-650 degrees C, swirl-melting furnace maintains at 1200-1300 degrees C stably and over 95% of fly ash could be caught by the swirl-melting furnace. The results provided much practical experience and basic data to develop MSW gasification and melting technology.

Tremendous amount of sludge is generated annually from freshwater treatment or sewage. The high temperature slagging co-gasification converts the sludge to slag showing the potential application for construction material. In this study, the physico-chemical properties of 4 types of slags generated from the co-gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) with sludge from freshwater treatment or sewage, and ashes from sludge incineration are comprehensively analyzed.

The management of solid waste poses a worldwide obstacle in the pursuit of a sustainable society. This issue has intensified with the increase in waste production caused by rapid population expansion, industrialization, and urbanization. The continuously growing volume of municipal solid waste, particularly the substantial volume of organic waste, along with improper disposal practices, results in the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful airborne substances which simultaneously causes health risks and socioeconomic concerns.

This work presents a methodology integrating Non-Linear Programming (NLP) for multi-objective and multi-period optimization, addressing sustainable waste management and energy conversion challenges. It integrates waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies such as Anaerobic Digestion (AD), Incineration (Inc), Gasification (Gsf), and Pyrolysis (Py), and considers thermochemical, technical, economic, and environmental considerations through rigorous non-linear functions. Using Mexico City as a case study, the model develops waste management strategies that balance environmental and economic aims, considering social impacts.
