The average composition of the
municipal solid waste fed to a MSWI in Piacenza (LEAP, 2009), a
town in Northern Italy, was used as a reference input data for
the elemental waste composition: 35% of moisture, 20% of unburning
matter (fly and bottom ash) and 45% of combustible fraction
(26% C, 4% O, 14% H, 0.5% N and the remaining part made up of S
and Cl). With the aim of investigating a meaningful range for the
composition of acid gases generated during combustion
