Question
A batch reactor is to be used to treat raw water to achieve 95% pollutant removal. The pollutant has a second-order reaction rate constant of 0.35 L/(mg.day), what is the required residence time of water in the batch reactor, in days?
For the same water in above problem , assume we are planning to use a continuous flow, completely mixed reactor, what would be the required residence time? How does this compare to the time for the batch reactor in problem two?
