Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

Poorly treated municipal wastewater is continuously discharged directly into a lake. The discharge from the wastewater plant into the lake occurs at a flow of Qd = 1 m3/hr. The concentration of phosphate (PO43, M = 95 g/mol) in the discharge flow (Cxd) that is decaying with first-order kinetics is 100 mg/L. The lake is a well-mixed water body of 100 m3. (Phosphate is naturally uptaken by algae with a first- order decay rate constant equal to 0.20/day.) The concentration of phosphate in the incoming river (Cx,r) is 10 mg P/L. The incoming river flow rate is Q, = 10 m3/hr. %3D a) Which of the following equations represent the correct mass balance equation?

Often environmental contaminants, like estrogenic compounds, do not readily degrade when they are adsorbed to soil particles (adsorption can make these compounds unavailable to microbial organisms largely responsible for their decomposition). If a 1850 kg mass of soil contained 0.25 m3 of water with a dissolved compound concentration of 15 mg/L, how much mass of this compound would remain after 30 days? The compound has a half life of 22 days at a temperature similar to that in your study situation. You may make the following assumptions: the compound follows the Freundlich adsorption model with K = 0.25 L/kg and n = 1.2 any compound adsorbed to soil particles is resistant to degradation adsorption is at equilibrium at the beginning of the 30 day period the compound does not easily desorb

The effects of ocean acidification on the health of coral reefs.
Advection, diffusion, and reaction in a channel Approximately 50 m3 of an agricultural pesticide with an initial concentration of 1.6 × 105 mol/m3 have been spilled into a stream following a train derailment. You have been called in to predict the aqueous concentrations of this pesticide at various points along the stream, and the mass that will be delivered to a lake with critical habitat 70 km downstream. You look up the main component of the pesticide and see that it degrades in water (due to hydrolysis reaction) with a half-life of 1.9 h. The discharge rate of the stream is 75,000 L/min. It has an average depth of 0.3 m and an average width of 1.2 m. a. Calculate the maximum concentration (in mol/L) of the pesticide that will be observed at a town 10 km downstream and at the point where the stream reaches the lake, 70 km downstream. Assume a sheer velocity of 0.40 m/s. b. Plot the concentration of this pesticide entering the town and the lake with time. Care should be taken when…
