35 The average daily waste flow from a factory in an industrial estate is 75 m³ of stearic acid (CH2COOH) of concentration 150 mg/l and 9 m³ of capric acid (C,H,,COOH) of concentration 500 mg/l. Calculate the theoretical oxygen demand and 5 day BOD of the combined wastes. Calculate the minimum amount of nitrogen and phosphorus required in the waste stream for it to be amenable to biological oxidation treatment. Assume that BOD = 0.7 ThOD and Atomic weights: H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O=16 and P32. BOD: N: P ratio of 100: 5: 1 is required in waste water for it to be amenable to biological oxydation treatment. 5
, Conduct a mass balance to determine the amount of (a) ash, (b) water and (c) dry exhaust produced during incineration, and (d) the amount (mass) of air needed given the following information: waste is supplied at 5000 tons/day, it has a moisture content of 30% and the ash content is 15%. The as-fired energy content is 5950 Btu/lb and you plan to use 150% excess air.

Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question? The US EPA requires hazardous waste incinerators to meet a standard of 99.99% destruction and removal of organic hazardous constituents injected into the incinerator, which is referred to as "four nines DRE". The efficiency is calculated by measuring the mass flow rate of organic constituents entering the incinerator and the mass flow rate of constituents exiting the incinerator stack, as shown in Figure 1. Draw a mass-balance diagram and determine the allowable quantity of contaminant in the exit stream if the incinerator is burning 1.2000 g/s of hazardous constituents. If the incinerator is 96% efficient in destroying the hazardous constituents, what scrubber efficiency is necessary to meet the EPA standard?
Solid Waste Management On daily basis, and for six months a family brought to the home 60.0 lb of consumer good (food, newspaper, magazines, etc. The family consumes 10.0 lb of food that day, and 6.0 lb of food is stored. Paper is 35% of the waste produced and all of it goes to the fireplace except magazines. The magazines received represent 15 percent of the paper wastes of the day, and they are not thrown away. If bottles and cans represent 60% (by weight), and are recycled by the family. Twenty- eight percent of the paper waste (35 percent total) is burned in the fireplace. Calculate the following: A- The amount of solid wastes disposed from the home during one-day period. B- The amounts of bottles and cans that can be recycled over the six months' period
Equal amounts of two types of waste are disposed into a section of a landfill. They both start producing gas at t=0. Assume first-order decay for gas production. Each type of waste can produce 150 L CH4/kg of waste. Waste type A produces gas with a half-life of 8 years, and waste type B produces gas with a half-life of 4 years. How long (to the nearest year) until 90% of the total gas has been produced? a. 0.8 years b. 6.4 years c. 7 years d. 27.6 years e. 20.4 years Check
