Abstract:
In this study, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is applied to speciation and evaluation of carbon in Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) bottom ash. This innovative recognition approach highlights and quantifies different types of carboned materials in bottom ash: Labile Organic Carbon (LOC) and Refractory Carbon (RC). The Labile Organic Carbon contains small molecules unburnt or decomposed and volatile. This organic material (LOC) is oxidized at medium temperatures (between 300 and 325 degrees C). The Refractory Carbon contains Elementary Carbon (EC) and Resistant Organic Carbon (ROC) in the form of complex molecules of high molecular weight. This is oxidized at high temperatures (between 435 and 470 degrees C).
