Abstract
Presented at the 32nd Annual Conference of Missouri Waste ControlThe unique high-pressure compaction technology developed at Capsule Pipeline Research Center (CPRC) of University of Missouri-Columbia was used to study the compaction of combustible components of municipal solid waste and flyash generated from coal-fired power plants. By compaction, the combustible wastes can be turned into uniform, densified solids for use as fuel; the flyash can be turned into high-valued building elements such as bricks and blocks.This research project was sponsored by the Solid Waste Management Program, Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) for the period from January 1, 2001 to December 29, 2001.
