Included activities starts

This activity starts with the waste treatment plant receives municipal solid waste

Included activities ends

At the end of this activity, the waste is treated, and specific waste emissions from the landfill are released into the environment (air due to landfill gas leaks, water due to leachate from the waste, and subsequently into groundwater).

Description

The dataset represents the waste management activities of \"municipal solid waste\" in a sanitary landfill. The recommended use of this dataset: for average municipal/public waste mixtures. It is not suitable to represent any single specific waste, such as plastics, paper, cardboard. The characteristics of urban solid waste in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province are as follows: kitchen waste 43.66%, paper 17.77%, rubber 20.55%, textile (fiber) 4.66%, wood bamboo 2.84%, ash soil 2.4%, brick tiles ceramics 1.07%, glass 1.66%, metal 2.09%, and others 3.3%. Moisture content is 58%. 03%, higher heating value 7781.59 kJ/kg, lower heating value 5894.38 kJ/kg. The carbon share from initial waste, i.e., 60.4% from biogenic sources. The proportion of unoxidized and recoverable metals in waste (excluding extremely small or thin components): Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. Total degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%. The degradability of waste fractions: Paper: 27%; Mixed cardboard: 32%. 4% plastic: 1%; laminated materials: 18%; laminated packaging, such as drink cartons: 18%; composite products, such as diapers: 18%; glass: 0%; textiles: 12%; minerals: 0%; natural products: 27%; compostable materials: 27%; inert metals: 10%; volatile metals: 0%; batteries: 0%; electronics: 0%; landfill gas capture and utilization generate 2.23E-04 kWh of electricity and 8.04E-01 MJ of useful heat.

Process Description

'Municipal solid waste' primarily originates from a wide range of activities across many different sectors. 'Municipal solid waste' consists of the following fractions: food waste, paper, rubber, textiles (fibers), bamboo and wood, ash and soil, bricks and ceramics, glass, metals, and potentially other fractions. These by-products (recyclable or waste) are produced by common transformation activities, thus it's plausible to model the waste output for similar components. In the HiQ database, the handling methods for these by-products include: deposition - sanitary landfill, municipal incineration. Additionally, these by-products are also utilized in the following processes: clinker production.

Technology comment

This is an inventory for a sanitary (controlled) landfill for municipal solid waste. The final average landfill height is 20 meters. The duration of the operation phase is 30 years. The landfill gas collection and utilization for this waste begins one year after disposal in the landfill and lasts for 30 years. The landfill gas utilization conversion efficiency is 70%, with 50% converted to electricity and 50% to heat. The leachate collected during the initial 100 years is collected and treated before being discharged.
