CO2 EMISSIONS <br /> Analysis of the vapor stream has revealed that a mayor constituent <br /> of the extracted vapor is carbon dioxide (CO2) . The CO2 is found in <br /> concentrations well above its normal concentration in air and <br /> therefore is probably the product of the oxidation of hydrocarbons <br /> by biological and/or chemical means. <br /> Because of the high concentrations of CO2 found in the influent (1- <br /> SU , this CO2 represents a significant amount of hydrocarbon <br /> removed. On average in a hydrocarbon molecule there are 2 Hydrogens <br /> (H) for every Carbon (C) therefore each CO2 represents the oxidation <br /> of one CH2 radical . This indicates that for ever mole of CO2 <br /> recovered one mole of CH2 has been destroyed The molecular weight <br /> Of CH2 is 14 gm/mole. <br /> 14gm/435 . 6gm/lb= 0 . 032 lb/mole . The volume of one mole of gas <br /> at STP = 22 4 1 <br /> 1 l = . 0353 cf 22 41 x 0353 cf/1 = 0 . 79cf/mole <br /> Therefore one cf of pure CO2 represents . <br /> 0 . 032 lb/mole / 0 .79 cf/mole = 041 lb/cf of CH2 <br /> In gasses It = 1/100 of a mole <br /> 041lb/cf/100%= 00041 lb/cf/°s <br /> page 4 of R603 , 10/21/93 <br />
