This dataset represents the activity of waste disposal of waste rubber, unspecified in a municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) // Recommended use of this dataset: For small or large used rubber parts (can be as part of a larger contraption), which go to disposal as part of communal waste mixture. // // Waste composition (wet, in ppm): upper heating value 29.3 MJ/kg; lower heating value 27.19 MJ/kg; H2O n.a.; O n.a.; H 106690; C 853530; S 3700; N n.a.; P n.a.; B n.a.; Cl 20000; Br n.a.; F n.a.; I n.a.; Ag n.a.; As n.a.; Ba n.a.; Cd 8; Co n.a.; Cr n.a.; Cu n.a.; Hg 0.001; Mn n.a.; Mo n.a.; Ni n.a.; Pb 70; Sb n.a.; Se n.a.; Sn n.a.; V n.a.; Zn 16000; 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%. // Recovery of metal scrap from bottom ash to recycling: 0g iron scrap, 0g aluminium scrap, 0g copper scrap. From this waste, the FLUWA process in the technology mix recovers 0.00492kg (DM) of a hydroxide sludge to be recycled in zinc furnaces. // Ultimately one kg of this waste produces 0.03579 kg of bottom ash (can include some washed ash) and 0.0165 kg of residues, which are landfilled (technology mix). Additional solidification of residues with 0.006599 kg of cement.Net energy production: 3.25MJ/kg electric energy and 6.34MJ/kg thermal energy. //
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.
