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 plastics, paper, cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste in Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, are as follows: food waste 47.78%, paper 6.85%, rubber 9.41%, textile (fiber) 2.72%, wood and bamboo 1.75%, ash and soil 0%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 27.22%, glass 2.89%, metal 1.21%, other 0.17%. Moisture content 55. 81%, higher heating value 5367.35 kJ/kg, lower heating value 3624.71 kJ/kg. The carbon share from the initial waste, i.e., 60.4% biogenic. Proportion of non-oxidized and largely recoverable metals in waste (excluding extremely small or extremely thin components) Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. Overall degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%. Degradability of the composition of waste fractions: Paper: 27%; Mixed cardboard: 32. 4% plastic: 1%; laminated materials: 18%; laminated packaging, such as drink cartons: 18%; composite goods, 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 6.86E-05 kWh of electricity and 2.47E-01 MJ of useful heat.
