The dataset represents the waste management activity of \"municipal solid waste\" in a sanitary landfill. The recommended use of this dataset is for the average municipal/public waste mixture. It is not suitable to represent any single specific waste, such as plastics, paper, or cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste in the 12th division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps are as follows: food waste 76%, paper 2.4%, rubber 5.4%, textile (fiber) 4.2%, wood and bamboo 2.5%, ash and soil 0%, bricks and ceramics 6.4%, glass 2.4%, and metal 0%. 8%, and other categories 0%. Moisture content 47%, higher heating value 4148.64 kJ/kg, lower heating value 2183.4 kJ/kg. The carbon fraction in the initial waste that is of biogenic origin: 60.4%. The proportion of unoxidized and substantially recoverable metals from the waste (excluding very small or very thin components) is: iron: 60.03%; aluminum: 17.81%; copper: 72.83%. The overall degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%. Biodegradability of waste fractions: paper: 27%; mixed cardboard: 32% 4% plastics: 1%; laminates: 18%; laminated packaging, such as beverage 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 8.68E-05 kWh of electricity and 3.12E-01 MJ of useful heat.
