In this paper, the results obtained in the application of the fluidized-bed gasification to the treatment of solid waste with high heating value. These wastes could be valuable materials in thermoconversion processes such as gasification. The combustible fraction ·of municipal solid waste (MSVV) composed of paper, cardboard, plastics (PET, PVC), referred as refuse derived fuel (RDF), has been considered in this work. The experimental facility consists of an air-blown gasifier operating at atmospheric pressure with a capacity of 50 kg/h. The results obtained show that the gasification of RDF allows to produce a gas with a high heating value (HHV) of 7 .8 MJ/Nm3 and recovering more than 80% of the initial HHV of the waste in the cold gas. Solid residue produced in the gasification process is lower than 10% of the initial waste.
