1. A groundwater contains the following constituents: CO2 = 9.6 mg/L Ca2+ = 95.2 mg/L Mg2+ = 25.8 mg/L HCO3 = 198 mg/L as CaCO3 The facility is to treat 50 x 10° L/d of water from this source using lime-soda ash to reduce the hardness. Determine the quicklime and soda ash dosages for softening to stoichiometric limits. Assume the lime is 90% CaO by weight and the soda ash is pure sodium carbonate.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:A groundwater contains the following constituents:
CO2 = 9.6 mg/L
Ca?+ = 95.2 mg/L
1.
Mg?+ = 25.8 mg/L
HCO3 = 198 mg/L as CaCO3
The facility is to treat 50 x 106 L/d of water from this source using lime-soda ash to reduce the hardness. Determine the
quicklime and soda ash dosages for softening to stoichiometric limits. Assume the lime is 90% Cao by weight and the
soda ash is pure sodium carbonate.
