Problem 2Approximately 30 kg of consumer products are brought into a home by its residents on a weekly basis. Two thirdsof this quantity are used as food, and about 2 kg of these products remain in the house. Every week, 75% of thewaste is collected at the curb, with the remainder sent to recycling.1. Plot the mass balance diagram of the house showing the mass of inputs, accumulations and outputs.2. Estimate how much solid waste the residents leave out to the curb each week.

Calculate the 5-day BOD of a domestic waste water based on the following data: volume of waste water added to 300 ml bottle = 6.0 ml, initial DO = 8.1 mg/l, and 5-day DO = 4.2 mg/l. What is the ultimate BOD assuming a k-rate of 0.1 per day?
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
An industry discharges 10 mgd of a waste that has a BOD5 of 2000 mg/L. How many pounds of BOD5 are discharged?
Construction and demolition (C&D) wastes account for 84% of the total wastes that directly goes to landfilI. Curtin University's research students found that 54% of these C&D wastes can be used in concrete and pavement. Estimate the maximum waste diversion rate if this research result is used by the government organizations and industries. (NOTE: only write down the whole number and do not write % with it. e.g. if your calculated civersion rate is 45.3%, , simply write just 45)
Calculate the annual volume of solid waste produced assuming the volume rate of generation of 1 kg per capita per day by a six workers. Given that the density of waste is 480 kg per cu. meter in a company?
If the five-day BOD of a waste is 220mg/L and the ultimate BOD is 320mg/L, what is the rate constant?A.0.142/day B. 0.178/day C. 0.210/day D. 0.233/day

Using the energy content (wet basis) of the waste components given in the table below, calculate the overall energy content of the waste having the composition shown. 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)?
In 2008, the total solid waste (SW) produced in US is 249.61 million tons (note: metric ton). The SW may be divided into 11 sorts, as shown below. For any particular SW type, Column 1 represents the fraction of the SW type in the total SW, Column 2 shows how many percent of the type of SW was recycled/recovered, Column 3 represents how many percent of the type of SW was combusted, and Column 4 shows the density of the type of SW. The volume of waste residue after combustion was negligible. 1) Usually, SW was compacted by some special equipment before landfilling. Also, because of the gravity from the other SW and cover material that was located above, the SW in a landfill was compressed, more or less. As a result, the volume of SW was decreased. Different sorts of SW exhibit different volume reduction behaviors. Column 5 is compact ratio, indicating the volume reduction. Compaction ratio = Volume before compaction/Volume after compaction. Please compute total volume and the average…
Problem 2. A homeowner collects her paper, cardboard, yard waste, and food waste for composting. Given below are the amounts in kg of the waste that she collects. She knows that for a successful compost, she must have a molar ratio of C:N of 20:1 or lower to succeed. What is the C:N ratio? Is her compost recipe going to succeed? Compost Components Food Weight (kg) Moisture Content (%) 2 70 Раper 10 6 Cardboard 5 5 Yard waste 20 60 Total 37

For a city of 3 million individuals discard 4lbs of solid waste per capita. Thirty percent of this waste is diverted to recycling. The remainder is compacted to a density of 1300 lb/yd3 and is landfilled into two 12-foot lifts per year. Assume that 18% of the volume will be necessary for daily cover. Find:a) Volume waste + cover
