Assume that a solute has a D* of 2.03 x 10-9 m2 / Sec and that w is equal to 0.5. If landfill leachate with a chloride concentration is next to a clay liner that is 2 m thick and the concentration of chloride is 2315 mg/L, what would be the chloride concentration at the outside of the liner after 50 years of diffusion. ? ignore any effects of advection. Defining a "release" from the landfill as a concentration exceeding 1 mg/l, how long will it take for a release to occur bt diffusion alone? Provide answer in years to the nearest tenth, Eg: 10.3
a landfill contains leachate with a chloride concentration of 2135mg/l. the landfill has a clay liner that is 2m thick and has a tortuosity coefficient of 0.5. the diffusion coefficient for chloride is 2.3×10-⁹. after 50years what would be the chloride concentration just outside of the clay liner? assume theres no ground water gradient across the liner

Assume diffusion is the only mechanism
Q) How can you determine chloride content in a waste water sample? Subject: environmental engineering lab
What is the difference between advection and diffusion? In what circumstances might diffusion become a significant, if not dominating, leakage channel in a landfill? Simple computations and drawings might be used to illustrate your point.
At a landfill site, leachate accumulated over a clay liner contains a chlorite concentration of 1,000 mg/L. What would be the chlorite concentration at a depth of 3 m after 100 years of molecular diffusion? Given: D*=1.015 x 10-9 m2/s
Define the term “field capacity of solid waste”.
If the bicarbonate concentration of a leachate is 1000 mg/L and the pH measured in the field is found to be 5.8, estimate the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide within the landfill.
Estimate the life of a landfill (years) given a population of 250,000 people, 40 acre, a maximum depth of 50 feet below ground, a pit slope of 1:3 and final slope of 1:4. The coversoil occupies 22% of the compacted volume. There is a 42% diversion rate, the waste is compacted to 1,270 lb/yd3, the population is stable and generates 6.2 lb/capita/day. The landfill area is square and the max height of the landfill is 33 yd.
1. Given the following information calculate VSS inert concentration in the influent of the waste stream. Give: Q = 10,000 m^3/d BOD5 = 200 g/m^3 sBOD5 = 80 g/m^3 COD = 400 g/m^3 sCOD = 150 g COD/m^3 TSS = 100 g/m^3 VSS = 80 g/m^3
Determine the Aeration Basin Dimensions for a town of 200,000 population. Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids is 3500 mg/L. The BOD Loading rate is 0.48 kg/ (?3 –day), Sludge Volume Index is 120 mL/g; Return sludge is 35%; the concentration of BOD is 0.093 Kg/(Capita –day). Primary sedimentation tank removes 35% of BOD.
State the two major purposes of sludge stabilization.
