Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Municipal Solid Wastes in the East Coast of Gangwon

This research was performed to investigate the generation and physico-chemical characteristics of municipal solid wastes in the east coast of gangwon. The results were as follows: i) The generation rate of G city and Y gun were 0.187-0.384 $\cal{kg/cap/d}$ and 0.136-0.259 $\cal{kg/cap/d}$. Apparent density of G city and Y gun were 137.9-191.9 g/L and 157.3-238.3 g/L, respectively. ii) The wastes consisted of $76.1-97.5\%$ of combustibles and $2.5-23.9\%$ of incombustibles in G city. And the wastes consisted of $73.7-98.6\%$ of combustibles and $1.4-26.3\%$ of incombustibles in Y gun. Most of municipal solid wastes are composed of food, paper, and vinyl-plastics waste. Water content of commercial area, agricultural resident, detached resident, apartment area, school zone were 42.5-45.9, 37.6-43.4, 32.4-38.4, 29.3-32.3, $6.8-26.9\%$, respectively. iii) The low heating value of G city and Y gun were 1,125.5-2,540.7 $\cal{kcal/kg}$, 1,104.4-2,062.3 $\cal{kcal/kg}$, and school and apartment area were higher than commercial area.
