The calorific value of municipal solid waste can vary depending on its composition, but it typically ranges between 6 to 19 MJ/kg. This value is an important factor in determining the energy potential of the waste for incineration or conversion into useful energy.
In 2013, paper made up around 25% of municipal solid waste in the United States.
The scientific name for solid waste is "municipal solid waste" (MSW), which refers to everyday items we use and then discard. This waste includes items like packaging, food scraps, and old furniture.
Some types of waste that can be burned to create electricity include municipal solid waste, agricultural waste, and biomass. These materials can be combusted in waste-to-energy facilities to generate electricity through steam turbines or other energy conversion technologies.
The purpose of using an incinerator is to treat waste, this process usually requires combustion of substances that are found in the waste. This waste process can only be made in an incinerator.
Gasification is a process that converts solid fuels, such as coal, biomass, or municipal solid waste, into a gaseous fuel known as syngas. This syngas can be used as a cleaner alternative to traditional solid fuels for power generation or as a feedstock for producing chemicals and fuels. Gasification typically involves high temperatures and controlled amounts of oxygen or steam to break down the solid feedstock into its gaseous components.
municipal solid waste is where the waste from households and businesses is produced

maybe
Yes. :D
Solid waste can be classified into different types depending on their source:a) Household waste is generally classified as municipal waste, b) Industrial waste as hazardous waste, and c) Biomedical waste or hospital waste as infectious waste.

Basically, calorific value of any sludge depends on its constitution. Since sludge is not defined composition wise, its accurate calorific value doesn't exist. And another important factor which affects the calorific value is the end product that's generated out of sludge. eg if biogas is generated, then calorific value would be 22,000 kJ/Nm3 (http://www.currenta.com/pages/1577/life_2008_final_engl.pdf) topic open for discussion!!

Municipal Solid Waste
In 2012, paper and paperboard accounted for approximately 28.2% of the municipal solid waste generated in the United States, totaling around 66 million tons. This made paper products one of the largest components of municipal solid waste during that year. Efforts to increase recycling and reduce paper consumption have been ongoing to manage this waste more effectively.
In 2009, paper made up the largest portion, 28.2% of the United States' municipal solid waste. It was followed by food scraps: 14.1%, and yard trimmings: 13.7%.
