Sažetak
Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) of waste represents a series of mechanical and biological processes which have the purpose to reduce the amount of waste that is placed on a landfill. In accordance to the ‘hierarchy of waste’ defined by the EU Waste Framework Directive, waste disposal to landfill represents the least desirable option.Considering the MBT process, the input component is a Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and output components consist of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), compost and possibly the materials suitable for recycling.The quality of output components depends on the input waste composition.More efficient primary waste separation decreases capacity and complexity of MBT facilities.RDF offers possibility of energy recovery from the part of such separated fractions.MBT technology does not solve the problem of harmful substances residual in MSW narrowing the application of compost obtained by the biological treatment and requiring additional treatment of flue gases from RDF combustion. Comparison of the composition of untreated MSW and RDF obtained by the MBT process is also presented in the paper.
