Question
A treatment system treating 1.0 m3
/s of water includes a filter followed by a
chlorine contact chamber for removal/inactivation of pathogens. The pathogen concentration
going into the filter is 2,500 pathogens/L. The filter is known to remove 2.5 log of pathogens.
The disinfection system is being designed to reduce the pathogen concentration by 95.2%.
Pathogens are inactivated by chlorine via first order kinetics with a reaction rate constant of
4.0/hr.
a. What is the concentration of pathogens in the outlet of the chlorination tank?
b. What is the volume of the chlorination tank
FeCl3•7H2O + 3HCO3- = Fe(OH)3(s) + 3CO2 + 3Cl- + H2O

Thank you :)arrow_forwardA gas mixture contains 0.03mole/mole of contaminant A. The solute free gas flow rate is 48.5 lbmole/(ft2 hr). We need to remove 85% of this contaminant from the gas stream. Liquid solvent is fed to the absorber in a countercurrent operational mode. Also the solvent being sent to this unit does not contain the contaminant The equilibrium plot is given below and it is also attached as a file. The tabular data is also presented if you prefer to construct your own plot. Using this information answer the questions below. Is this process gas absorption or liquid stripping? Calculate minimum flow rate of liquid solvent. If the actual solvent rate is 50% higher than the minimum solvent flow rate, determine the actual solvent flow rate and the fraction of solute A in the liquid solvent effluent stream.arrow_forward
- Example 5.4. Redo the Example 5.2. once again, but consider the case that there is no recycle of the filtrate to be mixed with the fresh feed. Determine (a) the amount of K2Cro, produced per hour and (b) the rate that we need to evaporate water. Without the recycle of the filtrate, we can re-draw the flow chart as shown on the next page. We then try performing the balances around the whole process, as done previously. water vapour mz kg FIlter cake me kg K crystals (100%) makg 36.4% K 63.6% w 100% w Feed m -4.500 kg 33.3% makg 4941 50.6% w Crystalliser & Fater Evaporator Filtrate me kg 36.4%K 63.6% warrow_forwardrate of 1.0 kg/ In a packed tower, a gas mixture with a 0.015 mole fraction of solute S at the inlet (the remainder being inert gases) undergoes counter- current absorption with water. The desired outlet concentration of the solute is 1% of its inlet concentration. The gas enters at a total flow /m²-s Given the dilute nature of the system, the equilibrium condition follows Henry's Law, represented by y = 1.75x, where y and x denote the mole fractions of solute S in the vapor and liquid phases, respectively.

Assuming this to be true, how much contact time is required to kill 99 percent of the bacteria with a chlorine residual of 0.1 mg/L, if 80 percent are killed in 2 min with this residual?
