Original Abstract
Estimation of mixed municipal waste composition is important for the option of suitable waste treatment. Many studies have presented their methodologies for analysing the composition of mixed municipal waste, but no uniform approach is available. The significant part of mixed municipal waste can be the fine fraction, depending on the analysis approach used. Nevertheless, the more detailed composition of fine fraction is unknown. This contribution aims to present chemical analysis of fine fraction of mixed municipal waste obtained from the city of Brno, Czech Republic. The mixed municipal waste in study area consists of about 25% fine fraction. The amount of moisture and the combustible part of the waste are first monitored in fine fraction. The elemental composition of non-combustible waste and its phase composition is further evaluated. The approach to chemical analysis has been designed to be easily repeatable and can complement routine manual waste analyses. The results of the analysis in the studied area showed the potential for energy utilisation of the fine fraction, even if the waste separation is increased. In addition, fine fraction contains metals suitable for material recovery, which can be separated from the slag after incineration and thus promote the material recovery of waste.
