Description
This dataset represents the treatment mix (technology mix) for 'municipal solid waste, municipal incineration'. This dataset is recommended for use with average municipal/public waste mixtures. It is not suitable for representing any single specific waste type, such as plastics, paper, or cardboard. The composition of municipal solid waste in Jilin are as follows: kitchen waste 43%, paper 4.9%, rubber 15%, textiles (fibers) 2.7%, wood and bamboo 2.7%, ash and soil 0%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 4.6%, glass 2.6%, metals 0.5%, others 24%. Moisture content is 55.81%, and the higher heating value is 6171. 51 kJ/kg, lower heating value 4526.37 kJ/kg.
Municipal waste incineration produces 0.205 kg of slag per kg of this waste and 0.05 kg of fly ash is landfilled after precious metal recovery from fly ash and slag, with fly ash being solidified at a 1:1 ratio with cement. The average thermal efficiency for waste heat electricity generation is assumed to be 22%. In the waste heat heating process, no different forms of heat and energy conversion are considered, resulting in higher thermal efficiency, with an average value of 64%. By integrating the thermal efficiencies of waste heat electricity generation and direct heat supply, 15% of the heat generated from waste incineration is used for electricity generation, while 56% is utilized for direct heating.
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.
