what are the similarities in how liquid and solid waste is managed in china
A truck dumped industrial waste into a pit. They found the truck 3 days ago with a pure pool of waste. Your lab finds the BOD5 of this waste to be 80 mg/L with a k=0.1/day. What was the waste source?
Here are the 3 nearby suspects:
Winery BOD ultimate = 275 mg/L
Vinegar manufacturer BOD ultimate = 80 mg/L
Pharmaceutical BOD ultimate = 200 mg/L

You can assume 100 lb of waste to make this easier. Then determine the composition of the left-over waste if 80 % of the cardboard, 60% of the yard waste, 50% of the paper, 30 % of the metals and 20% of the plastics are recovered or recycled. How does this affect the total energy content of the discarded waste? How about the energy content per mass (wet weight)?arrow_forward
- 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' periodarrow_forwardGive two examples of scientific and technological approaches to managing solid waste on land and in water.
