A fuel on the basis of waste, such as refuse, from which non-combustible and/or reusable components, have been sorted, if desired, is produced by intimately mixing the waste with lime, preferably burnt lime (CaO) or hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2) in a sufficient amount for inactivating present microorganisms in the waste by providing a pH in the liquid content in the waste of at least (11), preferably at least (12), and for maintaining at least this pH during the entire period of storage. The admixing of lime can be effected with simultaneous mechanical crushing of the waste, preferably in a rotary drum or after a preceding full or partial homogenization of the waste. The fuel can be stored for an extended period of time without environmental problems and therefore allows rational utilization of the calorific content of the waste. During combustion the lime content binds acids or heavy metals. |
