Thermal decomposition of combustible fraction of municipal solid waste
Description
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was conducted to investigate the thermal degradation behavior of the combustible fraction of municipal solid waste (CFMSW) over a temperature range of 30 °C to 900 °C under an inert atmosphere. Approximately 5-10 mg of CFMSW samples were subjected to controlled heating rates of 5, 10, 15,20, and 25 °C/min. The resulting mass loss data with respect to temperature has been compiled.

Approximately 5-10 mg of combustible fraction of municipal solid waste samples was taken in platinum crucible in a thermogravimetric analyzer to investigate the thermal degradation behavior of the combustible fraction of municipal solid waste over a temperature range of 30 °C to 900 °C under an inert atmosphere. The samples were subjected to controlled heating rates of 5, 10, 15,20, and 25 °C/min. The nitrogen flow rate was 100 ml/min. The resulting mass loss data with respect to temperature has been compiled.
