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)?

Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question? The US EPA requires hazardous waste incinerators to meet a standard of 99.99% destruction and removal of organic hazardous constituents injected into the incinerator, which is referred to as "four nines DRE". The efficiency is calculated by measuring the mass flow rate of organic constituents entering the incinerator and the mass flow rate of constituents exiting the incinerator stack, as shown in Figure 1. Draw a mass-balance diagram and determine the allowable quantity of contaminant in the exit stream if the incinerator is burning 1.2000 g/s of hazardous constituents. If the incinerator is 96% efficient in destroying the hazardous constituents, what scrubber efficiency is necessary to meet the EPA standard?
