- A water treatment plant treats 25 MLD water with a natural alkalinity of 4.0 mg/L (as CaCO3). It is estimated that, during coagulation of this water, 450 kg/day of calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) is required based on the alum dosage.
Consider the atomic weights as: Ca-40, H-1, C-12, O-16.
The quantity of pure quick lime, CaO (in kg) required for this process per day is _____ (rounded off to 2 decimal places). - Activated carbon is used to remove a pollutant from wastewater in a mixed batch reactor, which follows first-order reaction kinetics.
At a reaction rate of 0.38 /day, the time (in days) required to remove the pollutant by 95% is ______ (rounded off to 1 decimal place). - An industry discharges 2 million liters per day (MLD) of wastewater with a temperature of 45°C and a pH of 2, whereas the neighboring industry produces 3 MLD of wastewater with a temperature of 30°C and pH of 8. If both the wastewaters are mixed and carried through a pipeline, then the resultant pH of mixed wastewater is ___________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
