If the system is dosed with alum, aluminum sulfate(s), at a concentration equivalent to 2.7 mg Al/L and operated at pH 7.0, what is the minimum solubility of Al in equilibrium with gibbsite? Report your answer as (mg Al/L). State any assumptions.

Assume this mineral controls the solubility of Al in a coagulation-flocculation drinking water plant. If
the system is dosed with alum, aluminum sulfate(s), at a concentration equivalent to 2.7 mg Al/L and
operated at pH 7.0, what is the minimum solubility of Al in equilibrium with gibbsite? Report your
answer as (mg Al/L). State any assumptions.
