Question 8 An aerated bench-scale reactor is used to evaluate a non-recycle, secondary biological process. The initial substrate concentration is 150 ppm, the final substrate concentration is 10 ppm and the initial cell concentration is 1,500 mg/L. What is the initial specific substrate utilization rate, in g/g-d, when the maximum specific growth rate is 3.0 1/d, and the half-saturation constant is 60 mg/L?

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? What would be the best choice of solid coagulant for the Drinking Water Treatment Plant?…

A Pump & Treat water treatment system at a contaminated site is designed to treat 5 m3/d of ground water in a reactor designed as a well mixed system. The effluent must meet quality standards of 25 mg/L of Iron. The treatment reactor’s 20 m3 volume is believed to be insufficient to achieve the standard. The ground water has an iron concentration of 100 mg/L and the treatment reactor has a kinetic constant of 0.5 d-1. – Confirm that the treatment system will NOT meet the effluent quality standards. – If not modify the design by adding a PFR system (using same treatment process and kinetics), what volume should the PFR addition be?

A treatment plant has been designed to achieve 99 percent inactivation of Giardia Lamblia using chlorine dioxide. The engineer used data on the disinfection of Giardia Lamblia at 20°C for the design, but the plant operates in a northern climate, and current estimates are that the low water temperature in some winters will be 0.5°C. Estimate the expansion required in the contact chamber in order to achieve the same inactivation at that temperature. You may assume complete mixing in the contact chamber and that the inactivation of Giardia Lamblia follows the Chick-Watson relationship. Ct values for achieving 90% inactivation of Giardia Lamblia (mg.min/L) Temperature (°C) 0.5 °C 5 °C 10 °C 15 °C Chlorine 0.97 0.63 0.48 0.32 dioxide * Note that the chick Watson's disinfection rate constant is a function of temperature. 20 °C 0.24 25 °C 0.16

A second-order irreversible elementary reaction 2A -> product is carried out in a batch reactor. It was found that it took 30 min for a reaction to reach 90% conversion. What would be the time required to reach the same degree of conversion if (a) the initial concentration of A was doubled, (b) the reaction rate constant was doubled, and (c) the reactor volume was doubled.
Problems arise if the contaminant concen- tration in the influent to the manufacturing step rises above a critical acceptable level (ca). Again, assuming that the contaminant con- centration in the municipal water is zero and that the UPW system does not remove any of this contaminant, solve for the recycle ra- tio (RR = R/Q) as a function of the other known quantities, Q, ca, and W. NOTE: for the purpose of answering this question, use "ca" to denote Ca.
