Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question? A sanitary landfill has available space 25 ha at an average depth 12 m. Nine hundred sixty-five (965) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site each day for 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass-balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
How important is the implementation ofaSanitary Landfill in the economy ofacountry? And how vital is the involvement of the society in its operation?
Determine the area (m2) required for a new landfill site with a projected life of 10 years for a population of 100,000 generating 2.00 kg/capita-day. The density of the compacted waste is 400 kg/m3. The height of the landfill cannot exceed 10 meters.
For a city of 3 million individuals discard 4lbs of solid waste per capita. Thirty percent of this waste is diverted to recycling. The remainder is compacted to a density of 1300 lb/yd3 and is landfilled into two 12-foot lifts per year. Assume that 18% of the volume will be necessary for daily cover. Find: Square footage of land needed for the landfill
1. A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10 m. Seven hundred sixty-five (765) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
How many cubic yard of solid waste can be placed on a regulation soccer field (200 ft × 300 ft) subject to the following constraints and conditions? Slope of all landfill faces = 3 to 1 Covered material will be excavated from the site Neglect cover material requirements Lift height = 10 ft Maximum height of landfill = 20 ft Waste generation rate = 4.1 lb/capita day Community population = 80,000 How many soccer fields would be required per year to dispose of the waste from the community, assuming the in-place specific weight of the waste is 1,000 lb/yd3?
A landfill with a capacity of 11.3 x 10-6 which 63% of landfill being used about 100 kilometers from metropolis provides a help for the population of 562 500 that generates 1.9 kg per capita waste. Find the remaining projected life of landfill, given the ratio of cover is 1.95 and 492 densitt kg/cu. meter.
The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 400 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5% diversion for composting and 500 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below: Density of dry solid waste = 425 kg/m3 Daily generation of wet solid waste = 1500 kg Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 38% Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length:width:depth = 5:4:7. QUESTION 2. Estimate the theoretical amount of slow decomposable solid waste (C20H29O9N) required to produce 65 m3of methane (CH4) using the equation below. Assume a 75% conversion and the density of methane is 0.7167 kg/m3. Use the equation below C20 H 29 O9 N + 9H20 = 11CH4 + 9H20 + NH3 C = 12, N = 14, H =1, O = 16 QUESTION 3.

Question 14 options: metals paper including cardboard plastics batteries
A sanitary landfill is being designed to handle solid waste generated by the town of Pietro, at a rate of 40 Mg/day. It is expected that the waste will be delivered by compactor truck on a 5 days/week basis. The density as spread is 129 kg/m3. It will be spread in 0.8 meter layers and compacted to 0.3 meters. Assuming 2 such lifts per day and a daily cover of 0.13 meters, box your answer the annual volume of landfill consumed in cubic meters. Ignore the soil volume between the stacks. Answer in two decimal value.Also In your solution Compute also the daily horizontal area covered by the solid waste.
A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 hectares at an average depth of 10 m. 765 m3 of solid waste are dumped daily at the landfill 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
How many residences can be served? If we have a compactor truck which has a capacity of 30 yd3, each truck makes 3 trips/day 5 days a week, each residence has 3 people and each person produces 4lbs of waste. The density of the compacted waste is 425 lbs/yd3.
