Abstract

Disclosed are eco-friendly and low-price solid fuel, which is naturally dried, and a method of manufacturing the same. Disposable diapers or disposable sanitary pads, which are failed during the manufacturing process, are used to produce industrial alternative fuel having a low price through a predetermined process, so solid fuel having no pollution problem in combustion is provided. The solid fuel is mainly made of synthetic resin-pulp scrap including synthetic resin integrated with pulp like the disposable diapers or the disposable sanitary pads. The method includes introducing a scrap, such as the wasted disposable diaper or the wasted disposable sanitary pad, including synthetic resin integrated with pulp into a crusher to break the scrap into fragments, adding a slight amount of waste cooking oil serving as a binding agent to the fragments, performing an extrusion-molding with respect to the fragments, cutting the extrusion-molded fragments to make pallets, and then drying pallets.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A method of manufacturing solid fuel mainly including synthetic resin-pulp scrap, the method comprising:

breaking a waste including a disposable diaper or a disposable sanitary pad, which is failed in a manufacturing process and formed by bonding a synthetic resin waterproof film to a bottom surface of a pulp, into fragments;
conveying the fragments of the waste by a screw conveyer while spraying a binding agent on the fragments and mixing the fragments with each other;
and
extruding the mixed waste by an extruder and drying the waste,
wherein the binding agent includes a waste cooking oil, the waste cooking oil is sprayed at a weight ratio in a range of about 5 weight % to about 10 weight % with respect to a total weight of the fragments of the waste, and the waste cooking oil is sprayed through a plurality of nozzles which are installed in an entry of a cylinder of the screw conveyer at a uniform interval in a conveyance direction of the screw conveyer, or uniformly distributed at equally divided points of circumference of the cylinder in a spiral direction.
