The dataset represents the waste treatment activities of \"municipal solid waste\" in sanitary landfills. The recommended use of this dataset is for the average municipal/public waste mix. It is not suitable to represent any single specific waste, such as plastics, paper, or cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste from the Fourth Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps are as follows: food waste 76%, paper 2.4%, rubber 5.4%, textiles (fiber) 4.2%, wood and bamboo 2.5%, ash and soil 0%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 6.4%, glass 2.4%, and metals 0%. 8%, and other categories 0%. Moisture content is 47%, higher calorific value of 4148.64 kJ/kg, and lower calorific value of 2183.4 kJ/kg. The carbon share from biogenic sources in the initial waste is 60.4%. The proportions of unoxidized and largely recoverable metals in the waste (excluding very small or very thin parts) are: Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. The overall degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%. The degradability of components in the waste is as follows: Paper: 27%; Mixed Cardboard: 32%. 4% plastic: 1%; laminated materials: 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.
