W artykule przedstawione zostały wyniki prac badawczych oraz analizy składu i kaloryczności podstawowych produktów termicznego przetwarzania odpadowego opakowania kartonowego. Proces termicznego przetwarzania trójskładnikowego opakowania kartonowego przeprowadzono w atmosferze obojętnej (N2 +CO2) w temperaturze 520 C, następnie gorący gaz procesowy schładzano w chłodnicy wodnej i poprzez filtr kierowano do analizatora składu spalin. W wyniku tych procesów wyodrębniono następujące produkty:
Although there is plenty of space to build landfills, some areas especially located in the neighbourhoods of cities may not longer be running for new landfills. Therefore countries and communities are looking for new ways to manage with municipal solid waste problem. Retrieval of materials found in the waste stream to a beneficial use as well as energy reclaiming plays presently very important role. The EU in their policy and regulations obliges us to find any effective methods and facilities in order to meet new standards in the waste management. The paper describes a thermal decomposition method of three-component beverage packages containing among others the aluminium layer. An attention has mainly been focused on three products, namely: charcoal, wax and process gas. These products have been investigated in order to determine their calorific value and the other fuel properties. Based on the analysis results it was possible to evaluate the suitability for further use generally as an energy carrier. Aluminium as a recycled material has also been intended for further use.
