If an industrial plant discharges an effluent with a solids concentrationat a rate of 5000 lb/day, and if each person contributes 0.2 lb/day, what isthe population equivalent of the waste?
. For a composition of city waste given as (Paper, wood, cardboard) = 53%, (Garbage)=22%, (Ceramics, glass, crockery) = 10 %, (Metals) = 8 % and (Rubber, plastics, discarded textiles) =7 %. Population of the city is 4 million. The waste generation rater per person per year is 0.138 tons/capita/year. How much waste in tons can be recycled? How much waste in tons must be collected in order to keep the city clean?
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
Calculate the annual volume of solid waste produced assuming the volume rate of generation of 1 kg per capita per day by a six workers. Given that the density of waste is 480 kg per cu. meter in a company?

3.5 If an industrial plant discharges an effluent with a solids concentration at a rate of 5000 lb/day, and if each person contributes 0.2 lb./day, what is the population equivalent of the waste?
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?
Problem 6-6 (assume the waste is fed to an anaerobic digester, not landfilled). Use the equation given attached. Find x (moles of CH4) for food and paper as well. Then based moles of methane (x), individually calculate methane generated for paper and food waste and then total it. Provide answers in tons.
