Abstract

This Review Paper is concerned with characterization of bottom ash (Refused Derived Fuel) from waste
to energy power plant. Millions of tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) were produced every year, throughout the world.
Waste management and utilization strategies were a major concern in many countries. Management and treatment of
municipal solid waste have been gaining importance. Generally, Municipal solid waste was collected and burned in an
incinerator and the by-products of the combustion process were collected, municipal solid waste (MSW) produces two
main types of ashes, which can be grouped as bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA). Bottom ash typically accounts for 80%
of the whole amount of by-products in the MSW plants. The municipal waste are separated into combustible and
noncombustible waste and then from combustible waste pellets were formed from bottom ash and those pellets were
burnt in an energy power plant for the production of energy to generate electricity and the residue in the bottom of an
energy power plant was called refused derived fuel.
