Description
This dataset represents a disposal mix (technology mix) for 'municipal solid waste.' The recommended use of this dataset is for average municipal/public waste mixtures. It is not suitable for representing any single specific waste type, such as plastic, paper, or cardboard. The composition of municipal solid waste in Guangdong are as follows: kitchen waste 35.66%, paper 15%, rubber 29.8%, textiles (fibers) 8.6%, wood and bamboo 5.39%, ash and soil 0.42%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 0.76%, glass 1.98%, metals 1.6%, others 0.8%. Moisture content is 53.12%, and the higher heating value is 9431. 59 kJ/kg, lower heating value 7491.65 kJ/kg.
The mixing ratio of this technology refers to the Statistical Yearbook of Urban and Rural Construction, provincial urban sanitation and environmental conditions. The proportion of waste incineration is estimated based on China's national conditions.
Process Description
"Municipal solid waste" is primarily generated from a wide range of activities across many different sectors. "Municipal solid waste" includes the following components: kitchen waste, paper, rubber, textiles (fibers), wood and bamboo, ashes and soil, bricks, tiles and ceramics, glass, metals, and potentially other fractions. This by-product (recyclable or waste) arises from common transformation activities and can therefore be considered for modeling waste outputs of similar composition. In the HiQ database, treatment methods for this by-product include: landfilling – sanitary landfill, municipal incineration. Additionally, this by-product is used in the following process: clinker production.
