At a municipal waste handling facility, 30 metric ton mixture of food waste, yard waste, and paper waste was available. The moisture content of this mixture was found to be 10%. The ideal moisture content for composting this mixture is 50%. The amount of water to be added to this mixture to bring its moisture content to the ideal condition is metric ton. (in integer)

A sample of refuse is analyzed and found to contain 10% water (measured asweight loss on evaporation). The heat value of the entire mixture is measured in a calorimeter and is found to be 8000 kJ/kg. A 1.0 g sample is placed in thecalorimeter, and 0.2 g ash remains in the sample cup after combustion. What is the comparable, moisture-free heat value and the moisture- and ash-free heat value?
A sample of refuse has a moisture content of 20%. A 1.2 g sample is placed in a calorimeter, and a gross calorific value of 14,400 kJ/kg is measured based on the temperature rise. Further analysis shows that .3 g of ash remains in the bomb calorimeter after combustion. Calculate the HHV in terms of (a) moisture-free and (b) moisture- and ash-free

The results of a jar test on a surface water supply sample revealed that the optimum dose of alum (Al2(SO4)3.14H2O) as coagulant is 17 mg/L. Furthermore, the water has total alkalinity = 50 mg/L as CaCO3; pH = 7.8; and residual turbidity at optimum alum dose = 4 NTU. The water treatment plant has a mean flow of 10m3/hour. Determine: The kg of alum per year needed in the operation of the plant. The residual alkalinity in the sample, following the addition of alum at optimum dose. Solve parts (a) and (b) if instead of alum, ferric chloride (FeCl3) were used as coagulant. Assume the numerical jar test results are the same as those with alum.
Problem 4In water and wastewater treatment processes a filtration device may be used to remove water from the sludgeformed by a precipitation reaction. The initial concentration of sludge from a softening reaction is 20,000 mg/Land the volume of sludge is 100 m3. After filtration the sludge solids concentration is 350,000 mg/L. Assume thatthe sludge does not change density during filtration, and there is no accumulation of sludge in the filtrationdevice. Using the mass balance method, determine the volume of sludge after filtration.
Assume a rough estimate of MSW composition is 60 % of paper (assume cellulose, C6H10O5, moisture content 6%) and 40% food waste (assume sugar, C6H12O6, moisture content 70%). Estimate the HHV using both ultimate analysis and compositional analysis.
