Abstract: Abstract: During the next 10 years, national or local governments invest much capital to construct several rural solid waste treatment demonstration projects. However, the construction of rural domestic solid waste treatment demonstration projects overweighs its evaluation and management, which has been become the barrier that affects the achievement of the goal for the full coverage of rural solid waste harmless treatment. In this study, three index system scenarios were designed for the performance evaluation. The index system comprised input indices and out indices. The input indices include the occupied area, one-time investment, operation investment, etc., output indices include rural domestic solid waste treatment amount, emissions of air pollutants, water pollutants discharge, etc. In scenario 1, rural domestic solid waste treatment amount was designed as the sole output index for performance. In scenario 2, rural domestic solid waste treatment amount and air pollutant emission control were both considered in output index system. In scenario 3, rural domestic solid waste treatment amount, air pollutant emission control and water pollutant discharge control were all considered in output index system. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method was used for performance evaluation for the 21 solid waste treatment demonstration projects in Guangxi of China. Afterwards, Mann-Whitney & Kruskal-Wallis test were applied to test the significant difference of comprehensive technical efficiency among incineration treatment, pyrolysis treatment and bio-fermentation treatment. Finally, the investment reasonable ranges of rural solid waste treatment were obtained. The results showed that: 1) 12 demonstration projects showed good performance, in which 10 projects using incineration technology, and 2 projects using pyrolysis technology. Additionally, pollutant output indicators have some impacts on the performance evaluation results. The results have some could provide a reference for the strategy adjustment of the specific demonstration projects. For the projects with low scale performance, it should be better if the total treatment scale and the occupied area were lower, or the operation efficiency was re-adjusted. 2) Incineration, pyrolysis and biological fermentation technology weer all suitable for rural domestic waste treatment. 3) Incineration demonstration projects with good performance had generally used water bathing control process for pollutant control. Pyrolysis demonstration projects with good performance had adopted the gasification, secondary chamber, activated carbon adsorption and bag filter system for pollutant control. 4) The recommended one-time investment control of domestic waste treatment using incineration, pyrolysis and biological technology should be among the range of (15.92±11.98)×104RMB, (35.00±7.07)×104RMB per ton, respectively. The recommended daily operation control of domestic waste treatment using incineration, pyrolysis and biological technology should be among the range of (26.08±15.33)×104RMB, (57.5±10.61) ×104RMB per ton, respectively. The recommended one-time land occupation control of domestic waste treatment using incineration, pyrolysis and biological technology should be among the range of (39.74±18.19)×104RMB, (7.33±2.31) ×104RMB per ton, respectively. The performance evaluation results can provide reference for screening feasible rural domestic solid waste treatment technologies and fully covering application in rural areas of China.
