Please upload your full solution to the following problem. A series of experiments was conducted in a batch reactor to assess the disinfection by chlorine of the protozoan Giardia lamblia. In each experimental run, the concentration of free available chlorine was varied and the time required to kill 99 percent of the organisms was determined. The results showed that a Ct value of 100 mg-min/L was sufficient to achieve 2-log removal. Assume that the Chick- Watson model holds with n = 1. A. What value is the psuedo-first order disinfection rate coefficient k (min ¹) when the chlorine concentration is 1 mg/L? B. At a chlorine concentration of 1 mg/L and a contact time of 10 minutes, what fraction of the G. lamblia organisms would be killed? C. At a chlorine concentration of 10 mg/L and a contact time of 5 minutes, estimate the fraction of the G. lamblia organisms that would be killed. 4

For an electrostatic precipitator of given geometry and operating conditions, the collection efficiency for 2 micrometer particles is 99.90 percent. On the basis of a Deutsch-type equation for efficiencies, estimate the collection efficiency for (a) 1 micrometer and (b) 0.5 micrometer particles
PART B 1. The data are given as follows: Weight of evaporating dish: 53.5430 g Weight of evaporating dish and residue after drying at 103°C: 53.5760 g Weight of filter and residue after drying at 103°C: 1.5530 g Weight of filter and residue after ignition at 550°C: 1.5450 g Volume of sample filtered: 50 mL Volume of sample dried: 80 mL Determine the total solids, volatile suspended solids, suspended solids, fixed suspended solids and total dissolved solids. Assume 60% of suspended solids were loss on ignition.
Problem 4. A small community with a population of 25,200 is seeking your services as a consulting environmental engineer. They have tested their drinking water supply for coliform organisms by the fermentation tube method (five 10 ml portions per sample). They have come up with the following tabulated results for their April 2023 samples: No. of Samples 1 1 2 0 3 24 No. of + portions 5 4 3 2 1 0 No. of - portions 0 1 2 3 4 5 a. What is the calculated monthly average MPN? b. Just by looking at the calculated MPN can you comment on the safety of the drinking water of your client? -coliforms/100 ml.
Problem 4. A receipt of surface water sample is given in Table below: Substance Concentration (mg/L) Total Hardness 1000 mg/L CaCO3 Phenolphthalein acidity 5 mg/L CaCO3 Phenolphthalein Alkalinity 3 mg/L CaCO3 It is known that phenolphthalein alkalinity is only due to CO3²- and phenolphthalein acidity is only due to H₂CO3. Assuming the hardness of sample is because of calcium and magnesium ions, alkalinity-acidity are due to the carbonate species, calculate: a) The pH of sample. b) Temporary and permanent hardness as mg/L CaCO3. c) Total alkalinity and acidity as mg/L CaCO3. Molecular weights (g/mole): Ca = 40, Mg = 24, H = 1, C = 12, 0 = 16
1. A mixture consisting of 30 mL of waste and 270 mL of seeded dilution water has an initial Do of 8.55 mg/L; after 5 days, it has a final DO of 2.40 mg/L. Another bottle containing just the seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 8.75 mg/L and a final DO of 8.53 mg/L. Find the 5-days BOD of the waste.

Assume that all solutions are prepared at 25 degrees celsius and the solutes arr completely dissolved. In the lead content analysis of a wastewater sample, 75.00 mL of the original sample was taken and diluted with 125.00 mL deionized water. The diluted sample was found to have a lead content of 19.2 ppb. What is the lead content (in pbb) of the original wastewater sample?
You have designed a treatment system for contaminant Z. The treatment system consists of two parts: (1) a pipe with a volume of 15 m3 and (2) a CSTR has a volume of 60 m3. The pipe feeds into the CSTR. The inflow to the pipe is 10 m3/d and the influent Z concentration at the start of the pipe is 2,500 mg/L. The effluent from the pipe has a Z concentration of 1500 mg/L. Assume the reaction is first order. What is the reaction rate constant in units of (1/day)?
