Abstract
This note develops a procedure that can be used to calculate the single pass residence time distribution in a reactor system, such as a landfill, operated with recycle, from pulse tracer studies. An equation relating the effluent tracer concentration and residence time distribution ("E curve") is derived, and a numerical technique to solve such an equation is presented and applied to data obtained from experiments on a laboratory-scale reactor. The significance of the procedure developed to biological reactors is discussed.
