Total Energy Consumption

The term energy consumption signifies the consumption of electricity. Energy consumption as electricity is a primary demand for households, factories, industries, complexes, and commercial places. According to a report, the total U.S. energy consumption for 2018 was 101 BTU (British Thermal Units). It accounted for 17% of the total energy consumption of the world. The total energy demand for the U.S. as oil equivalent was estimated to be about 6804 kg of oil equivalent.

You are being consulted for the design of a coagulation-flocculation basin for a water treatment plant. Ferric sulfate is available as a commercial coagulant and is popular at removing turbidity and color. The chemical reaction for its addition to water is: Fe2(SO4)3 + 3Ca(HCO3)2 ----> 2Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3CaSO4 + 6CO2Results of a jar test to determine the optimal coagulant dose are provided below. The initial water sample has a pH=6.5 and turbidity of 30 NTU. Ferric sulfate dose, mg/L: 5 10 15 20 25Turbudity, NTU: 15 5 1 0.9 2What is the optimal mass of ferric sulfate you would need to purchase every day to treat 106 gallons/day to a turbidity below 1 NTU (assume 100% purity of the coagulant).

When chlorine (Cl2) gas is added to water during the disinfection of drinking water, it hydrolyzes with the water to form hypochlorous acid (HOCI). The disinfection power of the acid HOCI is 88 times better than its conjugate base, OCI". The pKa for HOCI is 7.5. Because the acidic form is a much better disinfectant, you want to maintain 89% of the total molar concentration in this form. What minimum pH should you target? Correct answer 6.6

A drinking water treatment plant wants to compare the efficacy of three different solid coagulants, Alum [Al(OH)3(s)], Lime (CaCO3(s)), and Ferric Chloride (FeCl3(s)), for removing the phosphate (PO43-) level to 1 mg/L. The following are the equilibrium reactions [and the respective equilibrium constants (or solubility products, Ksp)] that result in phosphate removalfor each solid, the second reaction being more relevant in each case: Alum: Al(OH)3(s) ↔ Al3+ + 3OH- AlPO4(s) ↔ Al3+ + PO43- Ksp = 9.84 x 10-21 Lime: CaCO3(s) ↔ Ca2+ + CO32- Ca3(PO4)2(s) ↔ Ca2+ + PO43- Ksp = 1 x10-27 Ferric Chloride: FeCl3 (s) ↔ Fe3+ + 3Cl- Fe(PO4)(s) ↔ Fe3+ + PO43- Ksp = 1x10-26.4 What concentrations of Fe 3+, Al3+, and Ca2+ will be needed to maintain a phosphate concentration of 1 mg/L?
