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.

Equal amounts of two types of waste are disposed into a section of a landfill. They both start producing gas at t=0. Assume first-order decay for gas production. Each type of waste can produce 150 L CH4/kg of waste. Waste type A produces gas with a half-life of 8 years, and waste type B produces gas with a half-life of 4 years. How long (to the nearest year) until 90% of the total gas has been produced? a. 0.8 years b. 6.4 years c. 7 years d. 27.6 years e. 20.4 years Check
