Question

Q: Assume a rough estimate of MSW composition is as follows:

	% by weight	Moisture content (%)
Paper (assume dry mass all cellulose, C₆H₁₀O₅)	40	8%
Glass	10	-
Steel	10	-
Aluminum	10	-
Food waste (assume dry mass all sugar, C₆H₁₂O₆)	30	80%

a) If 20,000 metric tonnes of this waste is for anaerobic digestion, how much methane gas would theoretically be produced?

b) If 20,000 metric tonnes of this waste is for aerobic composting. How much oxygen would theoretically be demanded?
