Under the background of waste classification and “zero waste city” pilot construction in China, the current management status and the existing problems were systematically sorted out and deeply analyzed. Through the collection of government statistical data and the extraction of Chinese and English literature data, it was estimated that the generation of food waste in China in 2017 was approximately 158 million tons, which included 63 million tons of restaurant food waste. The results showed that temporal and spatial discrepancies existed in food waste generation, characteristics, and treatment capability across different regions. Although the utilization of food waste in China has been significantly developed, a few problems still need to be solved, such as insufficient attention attached to source reduction, deficiency in treatment capacity, low efficiency in treatment technologies, lack of performance evaluation methods, etc. It was suggested that all regions should combine the waste classification and the “zero waste” construction according to local conditions, improve the reduction and resource utilization of food waste and make up the gap in treatment capacity continually. The government, enterprises and institutions, residents and other parties should jointly participate in the whole process of food waste management. By standardizing and evaluating the performance of mainstream technologies, and supervising the actual operation of food waste treatment projects, a multi-dimensional evaluation methodology should be established to realize the quantitative analysis of environment, resources and cost of food waste management from a life cycle perspective, so as to provide scientific basis for effective decision-making of the government and the industry in the future.

The substances separation in the food waste pretreatment stage has a great influence on the whole processing technology. If the sorting is not in place, there will be more impurities in the slurry, which will lead to the increase of equipment failure rate, pipe wear and other problems. The separation unit in the food waste pretreatment system was studied by reducing the rotating speed and feeding frequency of large substances separator. The results showed that with the decrease of rotation speed, the effect of sorting out large pieces of glass and ceramics could be achieved, the water content of the separation material had been increased but not obvious, the oil content rate would be increased, and there were some problems such as separating some organic substances, but there was no phenomenon of large amount of slurry being separated. With the increase of feed frequency, the content of separation material increased. The feeding speed had little influence on separation material composition and the overall data was stable.

By 2020, the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of National Urban Domestic Waste Harmless Treatment Facilities will basically realize the complete incineration of municipal solid waste(MSW) and zero landfill of raw waste. At that time, the landfill site of MSW will be facing ecological control. The fly ash produced by the incinerator will need to be filled and disposed. The fly ash landfill site will be designed to be built in the landfill site of MSW, which can effectively solve this problem and save land space. However, considering the high compressibility of MSW, the uneven settlement of the lower MSW dump is easy to occur under the action of the upper fly ash surcharge, which causes the unstable sliding of the fly ash dump and the MSW dump, and the destruction of the impervious membrane at the bottom of the fly ash reservoir area. Therefore, the stability analysis should be carried out in advance to evaluate whether the fly ash landfill area can be built on the domestic waste dump. Finally, the stability of a fly ash reservoir project to be built on domestic waste dump was analyzed, and its feasibility was evaluated.
