Question
8. Anaerobic digestion of an industrial waste, largely acetic acid, produces carbon dioxide and methane gas.
Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide and methane gas produced dailty at 20•C for an average daily waste
production of 500 kg of acetic acid.
9. A city situated on a large river disposes of its treated wastes to the river on a continuous basis. The minimum
flow in the river is 210 cu.m/s, and the discharge rate from the treatment plant is 12.5 cu.m/s. If the maximum
acceptable limit for a certain pollutant is 1.0 ppm (1mg/L) in the downstream river, and the "background"
concentration of this pollutant upstream is 0.4 ppm, what is the maximum concentration of the pollutant, in
mg/L, that can be safely released from the treatment plant?
