AbstractThe authors determined the morphological composition of refuse derived fuel (RDF) produced in Latvia and Lithuania by manually sorting. The parameters of RDF (moisture, net calorific value, ash content, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulphur, chlorine, metals) was determined using the EN standards. Comparing obtained results with data from literature, authors have found that the content of plastic is higher but paper and cardboard is lower than typical values. Results also show that the mean parameters for RDF can be classified with the class codes: Net heating value (3); chlorine (3); mercury (1), and responds to limits stated for 3rd class of solid recovered fuel. It is recommended to separate biological waste at source to lower moisture and ash content and increase heating value for potential fuel production from waste.

ABSTRACT. The electrical resistivity method (ER) with the electrical profiling technique (EP) were applied to landfill Delta A, located next to the highway dos Bandeirantes in Campinas (SP). Within the landfill there is a region of approximately 5,200 m2...Keywords: electrical resistivity, landfill, experimental cell. RESUMO.
