Abstract: Great differences between municipal solid wastes(MSW) produced at
different places and different times in terms of such parameters as physical
ingredient and heating value lead to difficulty in effective handling of MSW.
In this paper, ingredient,heating value and their temporal varying trends of
typical MSW in Beijing were continuously measured and analyzed. With
consideration of the process in pyrolysis and incineration, correlation between
physical ingredients and heating values was induced, favorable for evaluation
of heating value needed in handling of MSW from simple analysis of physical
ingredients of it.
