6. A tertiary treatment plant treats a municipal secondary effluent and is to employ fixed-bed carbon adsorption columns. Parallel treatment using two rows of two columns in series (in other words, a total of four columns) will be used. From batch-type slurry tests it has been found that 0.42 g COD/g carbon is adsorbed when C₂ = Co. Pertinent data are as follows: flow = 5700 m³/d, COD in feed to carbon columns = 20 mg/L, contact time function based on an empty carbon bed = 30 min, and unit liquid flow rate = 4.4 L/s-m². Each column is kept on-line until the entire mass of carbon in the column is completely exhausted. Determine: The volume of each column, m³. a. b. Page 2 of 3 C. d. e. The diameter and height of each column, m. The mass of carbon in each column if the packed density is 400 kg/m³. The kilograms of carbon exhausted per day if the COD removed is assumed to be 98%. The on-line time for each of the columns.
