Integrated Solid Waste Management

Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is a thorough waste suppression, compost, removal and recycling Program. An effective ISWM system considers how to suppress, manage and recycle solid waste in a manner that is most efficiently to protect human health and the surrounding. ISWM system requires evaluation of public wants and demands and then selecting and merging the most effective waste management activities for the proposed demands. The main ISWM activities for solid waste management are Waste prevention, Recycling and Composting, and Combustion and Removal and waste collection in a properly planned, constructed, managed and mitigated landfill areas. Each of these requires careful designing, financing, accumulation, and delivery of activities.

Enter T next to the following true statements and F next to the false statements. Settling of suspended solids in secondary clarifiers is typical of Type II sedimentation. Thickening prior to digestion is common in many wastewater treatment plants because it reduces the size needed for the digester. Based on a temperature of 30°C, a design mean cell residenee time of about 20 days would be reasonable for a completely-mixed anaerobic digester without recycle. A volatile suspended solid is defined as an organic solid that can be oxidized to CO2 (g) at 250°C. The theoretical yield coefficient can be estimated from the observed yield coefficient if the specific growth rate constant is known. Air flotation would likely be more efficient for thickening waste activated sludge than primary sludge, while the opposite would be true for gravity thickening. The net mass of cells produced in the activated sludge process equals the total cell mass synthesized minus the cell mass wasted as waste…

In a BOD test, 5 ml of wastewater (with no dissolved oxygen) is diluted with 295 ml of water containing 8.5 mg/1 of dissolved oxygen. After 5 days incubation at 25°C, the dissolved oxygen content of the mixture is 5 mg/1. Temperature coefficient can be taken as 1.047 and BOD rate constant is 0.23 per day (base e) at 20°C.

In a BOD test, the amount of organic matter remaining in the wastewater was measured at certain time intervals, instead of measuring the dissolved oxygen content. The amount of organic matterremaining after 4 and 9 d was measured as 52.86 mg/L and 8.11mg/L, respectively. Calculate the ultimate BOD and BOD rate constant k for the wastewater.
