6. Description: Thermomechanical_Treatment_of_SRF_for_Enhanced_Fuel_Properties

This article investigates the thermomechanical treatment of Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) to improve its fuel quality, energy content, and combustion performance. SRF, produced from non-recyclable waste streams, is a critical resource for sustainable energy generation, but its variable composition and moisture content often limit its efficiency.

The study presents:
Innovative pre-treatment methods combining mechanical and thermal processes
Characterization of SRF properties (calorific value, particle size, moisture, ash content)
Analysis of fuel behavior during combustion and its environmental impacts
Practical implications for waste-to-energy plants and cement industry

Key Findings:
Thermomechanical treatment significantly enhances fuel homogeneity, reduces moisture, and increases the net calorific value (NCV), making SRF a more reliable and eco-friendly alternative fuel.

Keywords: Solid Recovered Fuel, SRF, thermomechanical treatment, alternative fuels, waste-to-energy, calorific value, sustainable energy.
