| Abstract: | Municipal refuse usually contains only 0.10-0.15% sulfur. During combustion a minor fraction of the sulfur is released as SO2, while the major fraction is fixed in the ash, which contains alkaline oxides. Contrasted with coal and heavy fuel oil, municipal refuse is a minor to negligible source of SO2 air pollution. |
