Question
You place a 20 g sample of solid waste in a drying oven overnight and find the
mass in the morning (after the moisture has been evaporated) to be 16.2 g. A 1 g (wet) sample is also placed in a 1L water jacket bomb calorimeter and 0.18 g of ash remains in the sample cup after combustion. The temperature in the calorimeter is raised by 2.17 ˚C.
Calculate the heat value on a wet weight basis, dry weight basis, and on a moisture and ash-free basis. Convert your values to BTU/lb

You are designing a device that is designed to dose the volume with a coagulant, stir to allow flocculation, then add chlorine tablets to disinfect the water. The water is 25 °C and initially contains 1.0E+09 particles per L. The initial particles can be assumed to be spherical, 15.0 micrometers in diameter, and with a density of 1.675 g/mL. a. If the drums have a diameter of 572 mm, how long will it take for the particles to completely settle without any coagulation or flocculation? (answer in seconds) You have determined that you can achieve complete destabilization of particles by achieving an ionic strength of 0.01 M or higher. If you use alum (Al2(SO4)3) as a coagulating agent, what mass of alum must be added per batch of 200 L? (answer in grams) How many joules of energy would be required to stir the drum at a mixing intensity of 150 s-' for 20 minutes? If the drum is stirred…arrow_forwardA filter is designed with the following specifications.

- 1. Industrial representatives claim that the NAAQS for S02 is so low that one exceeds it if one strikes a simple woodenmatch in a modest-sized room. Is this true?(a) Calculate the concentration (in µg/m3) expected for striking such a match in a room that is 15 ft by 15 ft by 8 ft. A typical2-inch wooden match contains ≃ 2.5 mg of sulfur.arrow_forward3. The dissolved solids content is determined by filtering a portion of the sample through a glass fiber filter disc into a porcelain evaporating dish, drying the sample at 100°C, and igniting the residue by placing the dried sample in a muffle furnace at 550°C. The following masses are recorded: *Volume of sample: 25 mL •Mass of empty dish: 51.494 g a) The total dissolved solids content is: •Mass of dish and dried solids: 51.524g •Mass of dish and ignited solids: 51.5069 g b) The volatile dissolved solids content is: Does the total solids content equal the sum of the suspended and dissolved solids? c) The fixed dissolved solids content is:arrow_forward2. The suspended solids content is determined by filtering a portion of the sample through a glass-fiber filter disk, drying the disk at 105°C, and igniting the residue by placing the dried sample in a muffle furnace at static (?). The following masses are recorded: • Volume of sample: 30 mL • Mass of filter disk: 0.1170 g a) The total suspended solids content is: b) The volatile suspended solids content is: Mass of disk and dry solids: 0.1278 g Mass of disk and ignited solids: 0.12489 g c) The fixed suspended solids content is:arrow_forward
- Please upload your full solution to the following problem. A series of experiments was conducted in a batch reactor to assess the disinfection by chlorine of the protozoan Giardia lamblia. In each experimental run, the concentration of free available chlorine was varied and the time required to kill 99 percent of the organisms was determined. The results showed that a Ct value of 100 mg-min/L was sufficient to achieve 2-log removal. Assume that the Chick- Watson model holds with n = 1. A. What value is the psuedo-first order disinfection rate coefficient k (min ¹) when the chlorine concentration is 1 mg/L? B. At a chlorine concentration of 1 mg/L and a contact time of 10 minutes, what fraction of the G. lamblia organisms would be killed? C. At a chlorine concentration of 10 mg/L and a contact time of 5 minutes, estimate the fraction of the G. lamblia organisms that would be killed. 4arrow_forwardDetermine leachate generated in a cell in a 12-month period. You may assume that: -Percolation through the cover is 15in -Water consumed by waste decomposition is negligible (Life 1 contains mostly fresh waste) -Water loss as water vapor in landfill gas is negligible (again due to fresh waste) -Initial moisture content in fresh waste = 0.20 -Weight of waste in the lift = 3000 lb/yd² -Weight of cover = 1500 lb/yd² -The following sketch depicts water in and out of a waste lift.

- A sample of water is to be analyzed for solids content. Ten liters of water are passed through a filter (initial weight of filter is 15 grams). After drying at 105 C, the filter plus residual weighs 43 grams. Another 10 liters of sample of the same water is evaporated, without filtering, yielding a residual mass of 40 grams. The result of the analysis is calculated as follows: a. Total Solids of this water is--- b. Suspended Solids is--- c. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is- -Grams per liter. -Grams per liter. -Grams per liter. Please Note: The purpose of this problem is for you to understand the difference between Total Solids, Suspended Solids and Total Dissolved Solids. Also pay attention that the units as the sample is 10 liters and the problem is asking you to calculate the values per liter.arrow_forwardAn organic matter is degrading in a steady state complete mix type reactor following the firstorder kinetics. The upstream concentration of organic matter is 20 mg/1 and downstream concentration is 4 mg/1. The treatment of water is at the rate of 58 m3/min. and volume of the tank is 580 m³. Which of the following statements is/are correct for the given reactor? Detention time of tank is 10 minutes. B Rate constant is 0.4 min¹ C Average rate of decay is 1.6 mg/1/s. D Correct Option Correct Option Detention time required to achieve 90% efficiency is 20 min.arrow_forwardThe treated waste water is being discharged into a river that has a temperature of 15°C. The BOD rate constant determined in the laboratory for this mixed water is 0.12 per day (base e) at 20°C (Temperature coefficient, 1.047).
