Percentage generation and estimated energy content of municipal solid waste at commercial area of Janipur, Jammu

Abstract

The present study involves the analysis of percentage generation and energy content (kj/kg) of municipal solid waste. A regression equation was used for estimating the energy content of municipal solid waste and to correlate the energy content with variables derived from physical composition of solid waste. The regres­ sion equation is relatively simple than the modified Dulong equation (MDE), which is generally used for estimating energy content of municipal solid waste.
