Burning 3 million tons of domestic garbage can generate nearly 65.438+0.5 billion kWh of electricity every year, will it pollute the environment?
Burning garbage directly in the open air will produce a large number of toxic substances, including dioxins, which directly endanger people's health. Nowadays, open burning is rare, and garbage incineration is a new way to reuse resources. Garbage incineration can greatly reduce the emission of harmful substances such as dioxins, thus greatly reducing pollution.

Just in July this year, garbage sorting, which was popular all over the country, was also of great benefit to garbage incineration for power generation. At present, garbage in China is divided into four categories: recyclable garbage, harmful waste, wet garbage and dry garbage. Most of the dry garbage is high-quality fuel, which can be directly burned to generate electricity. As for wet garbage, because of its low heat, it needs anaerobic fermentation, and finally it is dried and desulfurized to produce biogas, which can be burned to generate electricity.

Among them, high-calorie dry garbage that can directly generate electricity also has corresponding categories, such as industrial polymer garbage: plastic PE, rubber (tire), fiber, artificial cotton cloth, resin, leather, plant cloth, recording tape, syringe, gloves, gauze, blood transfusion tube, etc. General domestic garbage: cardboard, scraps of paper, sawdust, leaves, animal organs, etc. Special organic matter: waste oil, waste solvent, sludge, paint, mold filter residue, etc. Therefore, being familiar with garbage classification and classifying garbage can really help to burn garbage to generate electricity to a great extent. If garbage is not sorted, not to mention the consumption of garbage, it will take huge material and human resources to deal with garbage alone.

The way of garbage incineration for power generation not only solves the problem of garbage accumulation, but also makes more sustainable use of resources for power generation, which is much better than direct landfill. Although this method can't guarantee complete zero pollution, it still reduces a lot of pollution. Moreover, incineration power generation not only reduces the volume and weight of garbage, but also can be used to generate electricity to meet human energy needs, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
