Concept explainers

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.

Well, that design isn’t going to work, either. I think about the only thing I can do is to try tochange the concentration of the stream that is leaving Earle Hall. I need my recycle stream tocontain 99% of the acetone that leaves Earle, and have a mass% of acetone of 95% (or else Ican’t reuse it), and I need the stream that is sent to the city’s sewer to have 1 mass% acetone.What is the mass% of acetone in the stream leaving Earle that makes this possible? Assume thatthe stream leaving Earle Hall is still 250,000 lbm every day
, Conduct a mass balance to determine the amount of (a) ash, (b) water and (c) dry exhaust produced during incineration, and (d) the amount (mass) of air needed given the following information: waste is supplied at 5000 tons/day, it has a moisture content of 30% and the ash content is 15%. The as-fired energy content is 5950 Btu/lb and you plan to use 150% excess air.
