Title: The Measurement and Research of Degradable Organic Carbon of Municipal Solid Waste in China
Abstract: Methane generated from municipal solid waste treatment facility is one of major greenhouse gases(GHGs),and the degradable organic carbon(DOC) is a very important parameter for calculating methane emission from landfills.IPCC 1996 Revised Guidance has given the formulae for calculating methane emission and DOC default values of various waste streams.These default values are mainly gotten from literatures of developed countries,and can't completely suit Chinese actual situation.Two typical cities respectively in north and south of China(Shenyang and Wuhan) were chosen as sampling places,and the municipal solid wastes generated from different areas,such as mixing areas,old town,newly developed areas,synthesis market,food supermarket and landfill site,etc.were collected and sampled.After chemical analysis,the water content,carbon content and degradable organic carbon of dry waste and fresh waste in typical cities were analyzed;the characters of municipal solid waste and its contents were revealed.The DOC default values for calculating methane emission from municipal solid waste treatment in China were gotten and the results show important significance and value for estimating methane emission form municipal solid waste treatment in China.
