Abstract :
Processing technology for microwave pyrolysis of municipal solid waste was studied by a self-made 20 KW microwave pyrolysis apparatus of wastes in this paper. Microwave pyrolysis temperature of wastes, pressure, pyrolysis products, rate of gas yield and energy consumption were analyzed in detail. The results showed that the appropriate pyrolysis temperature was not higher than 600°C. Total content of combustible gases such as CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, etc. was 74.88%, the average of pyrolysis gas calorific value was 36.02 MJ/m3, and tar calorific value was 54.7 MJ/m3. Energy consumption for microwave pyrolysis of wastes ranges from 0.58 KWh/Kg to 0.7 KWh/Kg.
