47. What is called for the process of burning municipal solid waste in a properly designed furnace under suitable temperature and operating conditions? Select one: a. Incineration b. Landfill c. Vermicomposting d. Recycling
What are the two methods for incineration in the case of a dilute VOC fume in the air?
, Conduct a mass balance to determine the amount of (a) ash, (b) water and (c)
dry exhaust produced during incineration, and (d) the amount (mass) of air needed given
the following information: waste is supplied at 5000 tons/day, it has a moisture content of
30% and the ash content is 15%. The as-fired energy content is 5950 Btu/lb and you plan to
use 150% excess air.

- They both have their advocates and detractors. On one of the flyers (printedon paper) they said:Plastic bag does not emit toxic fumes when properly incinerated. When burned in waste-to energy plants, the resulting by-products from combustion are carbon dioxide and water vapor. The bag is inert in landfills, when it does not contribute to leaching, bacterial or explosive gas problems. The bag photo-degrades in sunlight to the point that normal environmental factors of wind and rain will cause it to break into very small pieces.
