MSW Decontamination: Methods to Improve Biofuel Yields

Materials, Manufacturing, & Bioenergy S&T

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

MSW is usually contaminated with a variety of undesirable materials (food, chemicals, glass, metal) that can impact downstream applications such as conversion to biofuels. This presentation will showcase two decontamination methods using either a detergent wash or an organic solvent extraction to demonstrate up to 30% increase in biofuel precursor yields for plastic and paper MSW. The economics of the two decontamination methods will also be presented.
