Description

The dataset represents the treatment of \"municipal solid waste, 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 Qinghai Province are as follows: food waste 47.78%, paper 6.85%, rubber 9.41%, textiles (fibers) 2.72%, wood and bamboo 1.75%, ash and soil 0%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 27.22%, glass 2.89%, metals 1.21%, other 0.17%. Moisture content is 55.81%, higher calorific value of 5367. 35 kJ/kg, lower calorific value 3624.71 kJ/kg. The municipal data within the region is assumed to be merged with equal weights.

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.
