Electromagnetic induction-assisted pyrolysis of pre-treated MSW: Modelling and experimental analysis

The paper presents an innovative method for the energetic valorisation of municipal solid waste (MSW) through pyrolysis with electromagnetic induction technology. The MSW fraction treated is retained during the sieving pretreatment operation to separate the organic fraction intended for the anaerobic digestion producing advanced biofuel. Pyrolysis is a technology that could be a valuable option for the treatment of municipal solid waste. It is considered a valid alternative to waste incineration since it allows the production of chemicals and biofuels with low SOx and NOx emissions and, therefore, a low environmental impact.
