Analysis of the process of combustion of post-consumer wood using quantitative assessment indicators

The paper presents an analysis of the fuel and emission properties of selected types of post-consumer wood. The tested materials include flooring, wood door frames, and used furniture, as well as wood as a material for comparison. In addition, through the results of tests carried out in the laboratory, the paper presents possibilities related to the optimization of waste combustion plants equipped with combustion chambers with mobile grates. For this purpose, indicators of quantitative assessment were determined, i.e. the reaction rate, the fire point, mass loss during combustion, and the heat load of the grate.
