Combustion behavior of poultry and plastics waste in as bench scale combustor

Nowadays, combustion municipal solid waste (MSW) with energy recovery is the most popular method to decrease the usage of landfill. It is another alternative to overcome landfill site scarcity beside material reuse and recycling. Recently, combustion poultry for the purpose of energy recovery was th...
