The use of large-scale coal-fired power units mixed with refused derived fuel (RDF) can reduce carbon emissions and solve the problem of waste management. To verify the feasibility of co-firing RDF in coal-fired boilers, initial tests were conducted using a one-dimensional furnace to determine the maximum allowable proportion of RDF. Then, pilot-scale tests were carried out on a 4 MW boiler to study the effect of RDF co-firing on coal grinding, combustion, pollutant emissions, and slagging and fouling. The results showed that, when the co-firing ratio of RDF was less than 10% (mass ratio), the mass concentration of dioxins in the flue gas, and dioxins and heavy metals in the ash residue were all below the pollutant control standards. When 10% of RDF was co-grounded with coal in a medium speed mill, the fineness of R90 increased to 27.2%. When the coal and RDF were mixed and co-fired, the flame temperature and NOx formation concentration decreased, the slagging in the combustion air zone increased, while the horizontal flue fouling changes were relatively minor, and the combustible content in the bottom slag increased to about 15%. The research will provide reference for co-firing RDF in coal-fired boilers.
