Determination of the influences of alternative chemical-analytical reprocessing processes on the evaluation of solid substitute fuels “EBS Analytics”

The Directive on substitute fuels of the Ministry of Life provides for rules for the determination of substitute fuels, which are to be incorporated into the amendment to the Waste Incineration Ordinance (AVV). The Federal Environment Agency has tested the influences of fine processing and alternative acid mixtures for the digestion of heterogeneous substitute fuels for the environmental parameters arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, nickel, antimony, copper, zinc and mercury. It was examined whether more complex processing with centrifugal mills is justified. Alternative information methods used in waste and solid biofuels have been compared and discussed. For plastic mixtures from the waste sector, another suitable acid mixture is proposed for the amendment to the AVV.
