TGA and LOI measurements within the thermal degradation study of a SRF prepared for an aluminium scrap pre-heating system (REVaMP project)

Underlying data (related to Figure 2) for the publication Acha, E.; Lopez-Urionabarrenechea, A.;Delgado, C.; et al. Combustion of a Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) Produced from the Polymeric Fraction of Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR). Polymers 2021, 13, 3807. https://doi.org/10.3390/polym13213807

Experimental data generated by the REVaMP project (GA 869882, Horizon 2020, European Union) along the research of the combustion of a SRF, prepared from ASR, to be used as alternative fuel in a scrap pre-heater at an aluminium refinery plant. Research pertaining to Task 1.1 (WP1), Deliverable D1. 

Subject: Thermal degradation study performed in air to measure the mass loss of SRF samples with time and temperature during a continuous heating process (two TGA measurements and determination of variation of LOI with T). The results indicate the different stages in the thermal decomposition of the prepared SRF and the temperature range of its combustion. Useful information for designing the operation conditions of the SRF combustion chamber of the scrap pre-heater.
