ABSTRACT: Within the framework of the “EU Training Network for Resource Recovery through Enhanced Landfill Mining – NEW-MINE”, about 370 Mg of waste were excavated from a landfill site in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium. The fine fractions (material <90 mm) from the excavated waste were obtained through the implementation of a ballistic separation process. An amount of fine fractions of about 80 wt.% (raw state) was obtained with respect to the total amount of excavated material. The material composition, physico-chemical properties and particle size distribution of the fine fractions were determined and analyzed. Parameters such as bulk density and water content were determined regarding the physico-chemical properties. Grouped material fractions, such as combustibles, inert, metals, agglomerated fines <10 mm, fine fractions <10 mm and others, were employed for the classification of the material composition in raw and dry states. This information is of critical importance for designing an efficient ...
