INDUSTRIAL WOOD WASTES: EXPERIMENTAL CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL CHARACTERISATION AND NONCONTROLLED COMBUSTION TESTS

According to the waste framework directive 2006/12/EC, the European Union’s approach to solid waste management is based on the integrated hierarchy system consisting of: firstly, the prevention or reduction of waste production and harmfulness; secondly, the material waste recovery, or the waste use as a source of energy. Moreover, expressly in line with Annex I of the mentioned directive containing the list of waste categories, this integrated hierarchical management approach should also be implemented for industrial process residues.

In the provincial industrial district of Pesaro-Urbino (Marche Region, Italy), the furniture sector has a relevant dimension with a consequential estimated industrial wood residual production of more than 40,000 ton y-1. For representative "raw" and mainly "engineered" wood residual typologies, chemical-physical and heating characterisation analyses and non-controlled (i.e., non-optimised and without emission control) combustion tests have been performed.
