с H O N S Assignment 2 A wet sample weighing 110 Ib has the following components: Component Percent Moisture content% Food waste 50% 70% Paper 25% 6% Plastic 2% Yard waste 60% Leather 1% 10% Glass 5% 2% a. Estimate its overall moisture content (as percentage). b. The chemical composition formula of the organic fraction of the waste described in Table, with sulfur and with water. c. Determine the energy content (BTU/Ib) of typical residential MSW based on the chemical formula of the sample. d. Estimate the amount of methane (in Ib) that could be produced under anaerobic conditions in a sanitary landfill based on the overall chemical formula for the sample. Component Atomic weight 12 1 16 14 32 22% 11%
A) Results a. Overall Moisture content % = b. The chemical composition, with sulfur and water = c. The energy content (BTU/Ib)= d. The amount of methane (in Ib) B) Tables of calculation C) Sample of calculation for one chemical component (handwriting) D) Screenshot of Excel sheet E) Cover Page + Submit the file as PDF
