The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 300 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5X% diversion for composting and 400 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below: Density of dry solid waste = 460 kg/m3 Daily generation of wet solid waste = 2200 kg Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 32% (ii) Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length: width : depth = 6:5:4
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
Q: Assume a rough estimate of MSW composition is as follows: % by weight Moisture content (%) Paper (assume dry mass all cellulose, C6H10O5) 40 8% Glass 10 - Steel 10 - Aluminum 10 - Food waste (assume dry mass all sugar, C6H12O6) 30 80% a) If 20,000 metric tonnes of this waste is for anaerobic digestion, how much methane gas would theoretically be produced? b) If 20,000 metric tonnes of this waste is for aerobic composting. How much oxygen would theoretically be demanded?

In 2008, the total solid waste (SW) produced in US is 249.61 million tons (note: metric ton). The SW may be divided into 11 sorts, as shown below. For any particular SW type, Column 1 represents the fraction of the SW type in the total SW, Column 2 shows how many percent of the type of SW was recycled/recovered, Column 3 represents how many percent of the type of SW was combusted, and Column 4 shows the density of the type of SW. The volume of waste residue after combustion was negligible. 1) Usually, SW was compacted by some special equipment before landfilling. Also, because of the gravity from the other SW and cover material that was located above, the SW in a landfill was compressed, more or less. As a result, the volume of SW was decreased. Different sorts of SW exhibit different volume reduction behaviors. Column 5 is compact ratio, indicating the volume reduction. Compaction ratio = Volume before compaction/Volume after compaction. Please compute total volume and the average…
