โฆ Synopsis
Presents a study into the co-combustion of polyethylene of various particle size and its mixtures with other plastics together with natural gas and with pulverized coal. The study was conducted in an experimental combustion chamber. The combustion behaviour was assessed by means of CO, COZ, organic C, and 0 measurements in flue gas and by visual observations. Plastic particles with diameter <2 mm were successfully incinerated in the experimental plant at up to 80% of the total thermal load. Combustion of plastics as additional fuel in power plants is discussed.

Fuel ethanol from agricultural crops, 'bioethanol', is more expensive than petrol. The authors consider ways to reduce ethanol costs, by using mixed 'crops to extend the processing-season and by optimising plant capacity. They derived a simple model of general applicability by balancing crop transpo
