Abstract

The aim of this project is to waste minimize and energy production. The rising prices of raw material and
benefits from waste recycling have resulted in an increasing concern for material recovery and reuse from the both
management and technical aspects. Waste managing is one of the chief services provided by most urban Authorities. Solid
wastes need to be characterized by sources, generation toll, Types of wastes formed, and composition in order to observe and
control current waste management systems while humanizing the existing system. So keeping this aim in mind we have used
paper waste, empty fruit bunches, rice husk and coal by the combination of these waste we have made two types of RDF one
is without coal and another is with coal . In total 25 sample were made for the test analysis, After making the RDF of this
combination, we check the proximate analysis (moisture content, volatile matter content, ash content & Fixed Carbon
content ) and calorific value. Result of the test showed that of the combination that S25, S16 & S20 RDF with following
calorific values 3491.23 kcal/kg, 3475 kcal/kg & 3421.32 kcal/kg. So we can say that by using solid waste we have made a
good calorific value of RDF.
