The dataset represents the waste treatment activity 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 plastic, paper, cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste in the Aksu region of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region 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%, brick, tile, and ceramics 6.4%, glass 2.4%, metal 0.8%, other 0%. Moisture content is 47%, high calorific value is 4148. 64 kJ/kg, lower calorific value 2183.4 kJ/kg. The carbon fraction of initial waste, i.e., 60.4% biogenic. The ratio of unoxidized and largely recoverable metals in the waste (excluding very small or very thin components): Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. Overall degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%. Degradability of components composing the waste: Paper: 27%; Mixed cardboard: 32% 4% plastic: 1%; laminated materials: 18%; laminated packaging, such as beverage cartons: 18%; composite goods, like 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 generated 8.68E-05 kWh of electricity and 3.12E-01 MJ of useful heat.
