Under the influence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, most people are accustomed to going out to wear masks. It is conservatively estimated that about 500 million people in my country return to work. According to the frequency of changing masks once a day and a half, more than 300 million discarded masks are produced every day. Then, Where did all these discarded masks go?

　　Incineration of discarded masks can generate electricity.

　　Under the microscope, yellow particles are obviously attached to the used mask on the flannel surface. When magnified to 2000 times, you can see the moving bacteria. Therefore, used masks must be properly disposed of in time! Masks worn by the general population have no risk of virus transmission and can be processed in accordance with the requirements of household waste classification. Masks discarded by patients, suspected patients and nursing staff need to be separately collected and processed as medical waste.

　　 Waste masks enter the garbage incinerator for harmless treatment.

Garbage power plants are generally the last station for disposal of discarded masks. In fact, burning masks can also generate electricity. For every ton of garbage burned, the garbage dump can generate more than 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Some people predict that in 2020, 162,000 tons of discarded masks will be produced nationwide. 48 million kWh of electricity can be added. So, this time everyone knows where all the thrown masks went!
