“…The global production of plastics, polymer resins, and fibers, in the year 2015 was estimated as 381 million metric tons (MT), which increased by 75% in the year 2020 (Lee et al, 2020;Moldoveanu, 2019). It was also estimated that the global plastic waste generation in 2025 will increase to 9-13% of total Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) (Raman Sharma & Sharma, 2014).…”

The emission of pollutants caused by incineration has imposed a severe burden on the atmospheric environment. In this study, the thermogravimetric thermal analyzer (TGA) was used to study the characteristic behavior of co-combustion of municipal solid waste (MSW) and aged refuse (AR). And combined with Fourier transform infrared measurement, the emissions of several typical gaseous pollutants (NO, CO x , CH 4 , HCl, HCN, SO 2 ) have been investigated. Also, the release characteristics of heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Ti) during the co-combustion process were explored using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). This research found that both the combustion atmosphere and the mixing ratios impacted the experimental results. As the proportion of AR in the blends increased, the ignition index decreased, the burnout temperature rose, but the burnout efficiency increased. The addition of AR inhibited the generation of CO 2 , CH 4 , and HCl and promoted the production of NO and CO. Aerobic environment mainly inhibited the release of Cr and Mn. The research results provided important information for the study of pollutant emission characteristics during the cocombustion of MSW with AR.

“…For example, plastic waste and organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) can be recycled by thermal conversion (e.g., incineration and pyrolysis) (Hasan et al, 2021 ), yet it is apparent that plastic recovery is much sustainable. Furthermore, the concept of ‘combination’ has proved to be promising and effective in biological strategies, such as co-digestion of OFMSW and wastewater sludge (Amodeo et al, 2021 ), integration of anaerobic digestion and gasification technology (Zhang et al, 2020a ), synergistic pyrolysis of MSW (Lee et al, 2020 ), the combination of pretreatment technology (Bala & Mondal, 2020 ; Kannah et al, 2020 ). Substrate combination or technology integration was designed to produce the target products with high yield and achieve resource utilization by MSW from different sources.…”

“…Although there were some review papers on valorization methods of MSW, they preferred the resource utilization methods of a particular MSW, such as anaerobic fermentation (Chen et al, 2021 ), slow pyrolysis (Hasan et al, 2021 ; Lee et al, 2020 ), preparation of high-value chemicals (Ebikade et al, 2020 ; Kumar et al, 2021 ), and production of biofuels (Kannah et al, 2020 ), and even the disposal of hazardous waste related to COVID-19 (Klemeš et al, 2020 ). However, under the background of the continuous deepening of waste sorting, the whole process from the generation, source separation, collection and transportation, pretreatment, and resource utilization of MSW has not been systematically and comprehensively reviewed.…”
