Dataset on the properties of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) components for modeling and predicting RDF properties in torrefaction processes

<p>This file contains data on RDF components and their mixtures. Nine RDF components were used in this research, namely cellulose (CEL), chicken meat (CM), pine sawdust (SD), starch (ST), nylon (PA), high-density polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP),  polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and isobutylene isoprene rubber (IIR). Each component was mixed with each, in mass proportion 1:1, resulting in  36 mixtures. Table 1 contains the explanation of mixture coding and composition. Carbonized solid fuel (CSF) was produced from single components, as well as mixtures, at temperatures ranging from 200 °C to 300 °C, with a 20 °C interval, and a process time of 60 minutes. As a result, 270 CSF samples and 45 raw samples were obtained. The CSF samples were produced as single samples, and the process characteristics (MY, EDr, and EY) are included in the second spreadsheet titled &#34;Torrefaction Process&#34;. The third spreadsheet, titled &#34;Proximate and Ultimate Analysis&#34;, contains data on the properties of the produced biochars (270 samples) and raw samples (45 samples). These properties include moisture content, organic matter, combustible particles content, ash content, elemental analysis, heating value, and calculations used to determine the mass of each element in 1 mole of biomass, in grams. These analyses were conducted in triplicate. Table 2 explains the abbreviations used in the file.<br /></p>
