山坳间的“生态答卷”：变废为电照亮千家万户

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the significant improvement in the sanitation conditions of Ling County, which has transitioned from a "garbage siege" to effective waste management through the establishment of a waste incineration power plant and a dedicated fly ash landfill site [2][3][5]. Group 1: Waste Management Improvements - Ling County has successfully addressed the "garbage siege" issue, with the waste incineration power plant converting waste into electricity, thus enhancing local sanitation [2][6]. - The county's waste incineration plant processes an average of 1,200 tons of garbage daily, generating 500,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, sufficient to meet the daily needs of 50,000 households [7]. Group 2: Environmental and Health Concerns - Prior to improvements, Ling County faced severe environmental issues, including open burning of waste and low waste collection rates, leading to significant pollution risks [3][4]. - The fly ash produced from the incineration process posed potential environmental hazards if not properly managed, necessitating the construction of a dedicated fly ash landfill [4][5]. Group 3: Infrastructure Development - A new fly ash landfill site with a capacity of 175,000 cubic meters has been established, funded by an investment of 24.8571 million yuan, which can accommodate the fly ash for approximately 16 years [5]. - The landfill incorporates advanced technologies to prevent leachate generation, significantly reducing the risk of groundwater contamination and enhancing environmental safety [5][6].
