UESTION ONE: CASE STUDY
Title: Municipal Solid Waste Management in the Kanzo Metropolitan Area, Sikaman
Kanzo is a metropolitan area in Sikaman, a least developed country in West Africa, which has experienced rapid urbanisation over the past six decades. The population of Kanzo in 1965 was 45,000, which tripled in two decades, and further reached 1.2 million in the year 2005. The National Development Planning Council (NDPC), headquartered in Kanzo has estimated that the city’s population surpassed the threshold of 5 million in 2019. City authorities have become worried, considering the current rate of urbanisation pegged at 3 percent per annum. The population growth coupled with the rapid expansion of the city has resulted in an urban sprawl and uncontrolled expansion from the adjourning municipalities. Also, there has been an increased crowding resulting in higher occupancy ratios in existing housing units, and the infilling of vacant plots in existing residential areas. According to the NDPC, over 70 percent of the population of Kanzo live in low income, high density population areas which account for many of the slums in the city and its peripheral environs.
Kanzo generates over 3,000 tons of solid waste per day and only about 60 percent is collected by the waste management organisations contracted through a public private partnership (PPP) arrangement. Of these, the organic waste, made up of kitchen waste including food leftovers, rotten fruits, vegetables, leaves, crop residues, animal excreta and bones constitute 65-70% whiles industrial waste made up of plastics, glass, metals, and paper account for the remaining 30-35%. The high organic and moisture contents left in the open at prevailing high temperatures require frequent removals, which place additional burden on an over strained collection system. Experts have warned that the delays and inefficiencies in the solid waste collection system in Kanzo, is what has accounted for the high incidence of cholera, typhoid fever, malaria, and other health hazards witnessed in the metropolis. Especially in low income areas where the waste is not segregated but mixed due to inadequate sanitation facilities, the problem becomes more compounded.
The lack of proper land use planning in Kanzo, also hinders effective sanitation and waste management practices. As reported in the April 9, 2019 edition of the Daily Mail Newspaper, the lack of comprehensive planning, the absence of planning controls, week enforcement of bye-laws, indiscipline, difficulty to apply service charges, limited number of waste management organisations, and the lack of an adequate and well maintained infrastructure in the urban, and industrial development processes is responsible Kanzo’s environmental problems. The publication further outlines that the poor layouts, untarred and narrow nature of the road networks particularly in slums, make it difficult for waste collection vehicles to reach some parts of the city compound the situation. This uncontrolled urbanisation has resulted in an increase in the average travel distance to be covered by collection vehicles and additional cost to waste management.
In January, 2020, resident associations from all sub-metropolitan areas of Kanzo staged a mammoth demonstration at the city centre and presented a petition to the Office of the Mayor of Kanzo, Dr. E.M Hygiene, to express their concerns on the unsustainable manner and poor solid waste management system, as well as the environmental risks associated with the practice.
REQUIRED:
i. Identify any four (4) major causes of the poor solid waste management and sanitation problems
confronting the Kanzo Metropolitan Area.
  
ii. Discuss any three (3) environmental risks which the poor solid waste management practices may pose to residents of Kanzo and suggest what the residents can do to help solve the problem.
iii. From the above case, use your knowledge in waste management to recommend three (3) sustainable ways by which the City Authorities can solve this problem.

An absorption column (1st unit) and a stripping tower (2nd unit) are used in a separation process
to separate gas mixtures that contains 35 mol% CO2 and the balance methane (CH4). The gas
mixture is fed to the bottom of absorption column where in the column, the gas mixture is
contacted with a recycled solvent. The contacting solvent stream contains 0.45 mol% dissolved
CO2 in methanol (CH3OH), which is recycled from the bottom of the stripping tower and enters
the absorption column at the top. The product gas stream leaving the top of absorption column
contains 1 mol% CO2 and 99 mol% methanol, where all methanol fed to the column exits in
this stream.
The liquid bottom stream of the absorption column which is rich in CO2 is fed to the top of the
stripping tower while a stream of nitrogen gas at a flow rate of 100 mol/h is fed to the bottom.
90% of carbon dioxide in the liquid solvent fed to the stripping tower is stripped off and exits
the tower together with the entire nitrogen fed. This stream is released to the atmosphere
through a stack. As mentioned above, the liquid stream leaving the stripping tower is the
recycled solvent stream of CO2 –methanol solution fed to the absorption column.
There are two assumptions made in this separation process where firstly, no methanol enters
as vapor phase in both columns as it is assumed to be non-volatile. Another assumption is that
nitrogen is insoluble in methanol. By taking 100 mol/h of gas mixture fed to the absorption
column as the basis of calculation,
a) With the support of a complete process flow chart, determine all flow rates and
compositions entering and leaving the stripping tower.

Hi there! I can not find solution of Octave Levenspiel Chapter 26. I need it immediately. Can you please help me!Thank you.

A solid feed consisting of

20 wt% of 1-mm particles and smaller

30 wt% of 2-mm particles

50 wt% of 4-mm particles

passes through a rotating tubular reactor somewhat like a cement kiln where it reacts with gas to give a hard nonfriable solid product (SCMI reaction control, T = 4 h for 4-mm particles).

26.3. Find the residence time needed for 100% conversion of solids.

26.4. Find the mean conversion of the solids for a residence time of 15 min.

26.5. Particles of uniform size are 60% converted on the average (shrinking core model with reaction controlling) when flowing through a single fluidized bed. If the reactor is made twice as large but contains the same amount of solids and with the same gas environment what would be the conversion of solids?

26.6. Solids of unchanging size, R = 0.3 mm, are reacted with gas in a steady flow bench scale fluidized reactor with the following result. F, = 10 gmlsec, W = 1000 gm, X, = 0.75 Also, the conversion is strongly temperature-sensitive suggesting that the reaction step is rate-controlling. Design a commercial sized fluidized bed reactor (find W) to treat 4 metric tonslhr of solid feed of size R = 0.3 mm to 98% conversion.

26.7. Solve Example 26.3 with the following modification: the kinetics of the reaction is ash diffusion controlled with T(R = 100 ~m=) 1 0 min.

26.8. Repeat Example 26.4 if twice the stoichiometric ratio of gas to solid, still at C,,, is fed to the reactor.

26.9. Repeat Example 26.4 if the gas is assumed to pass in plug flow through the reactor.

One of the classical models of epidemics is due to Kermack and McKendrick (1927). The model considers three classes of individuals: at time t, I(t) is the number of infected people in the population, S(t) is the number of non-infected susceptible people, and R(t) is the number of “removed” people (either cured or deceased). This model is often referred to as the “SIR” model (where each letter is pronounced, or pronounced as the word “sir”). The equations of the model are

S’(t) = −r*S*I

I’(t) = r*S*I − γ*I

R’(t) = γ*I

5. (8 pts) Eliminate t from the S and I equations to give a single ODE relating S and I by dividing one equation by the other (and justifying this process by the chain rule). Solve this ODE and sketch the solution curves. Compare these solution curves to your direction field picture
