This dataset represents the activity of waste disposal of waste paint in a municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) // Recommended use of this dataset: For disposal of small amounts of dried paint, which go to disposal as part of a larger, burnable item or in small quantities. Larger amounts of waste paint, unused paint or removed (stripped) paint are to be disposed in hazardous waste incinerator. // // Waste composition (wet, in ppm): upper heating value 10.86 MJ/kg; lower heating value 10.14 MJ/kg; H2O n.a.; O 290300; H 36288; C 651510; S n.a.; N n.a.; P n.a.; B n.a.; Cl 1600; Br n.a.; F n.a.; I n.a.; Ag n.a.; As 2.5; Ba n.a.; Cd 5.0622; Co 388.23; Cr 1040.7; Cu 59; Hg 0.6; Mn n.a.; Mo 38.619; Ni 15; Pb 15246; Sb n.a.; Se n.a.; Sn 256.78; V n.a.; Zn 3251.5; Be n.a.; Sc n.a.; Sr n.a.; Ti n.a.; Tl n.a.; W n.a.; Si n.a.; Fe n.a.; Ca n.a.; Al n.a.; K n.a.; Mg n.a.; Na n.a.; // Share of carbon in waste that is biogenic 0%. // Share of metals in waste not oxidised and bulk-recyclable (exclude very small or thin parts) Iron: 0%; Alu: 0%; Copper: 0%. // One kg of this waste produces 0.02213 kg of slag and 0.01612 kg of residues, which are landfilled. Additional solidification with 0.006447 kg of cement. // Net energy production: 1.02MJ/kg electric energy and 2.11MJ/kg thermal energy. // Recovery of metal scrap to recycling: 0g iron scrap, 0g aluminium scrap, 0g copper scrap.
Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.
