Consider CSTRs in series follows a first-order reaction with the same rate constant as shown in question 9 (rate constant, k is 0.4 hr-1 ), and original concentration of organic matter at influent is 200 mg/L. If we want to achieve 50% removal in the PFR using the same rate constant, calculate how many CSTRs will be needed to achieve the same removal efficiency when the total residence time is the same. Explain your reasoning into words.

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
Determine Kd for the following compounds in a soil with 0.48% organic carbon. Assume that the organic carbon is the primary sorbent. Benzene TCE
Lake Bonaventure is a lake fed by the Saint Croix River. The Acme smeting company discharges the heavy metal nickel into the lake. The easy way to model the concentration of nickel is to assume the lake is well mixed. It isn’t. The lake has a mean depth of 30m, and during the summer a surface epilimnion of 5m develops, which breaks down for the winter. (no calculations are required to answer the questions below) (A) Given what you know about the hydrology of lakes, what differences in concentration would there be if the smelter discharges at the surface or at a depth of 30m? (B) How would concentrations vary in the lake throughout the year? (C) What if you factor in the fact that the flow of the Saint Croix River is less during the winter?
(4) [Text-problem 4.29] A 90-m³ basement in a residence is found to be contaminated with radon coming from the ground through the floor drains. The concentration of radon in the room is 1.5 Bq L- (becquerels per liter) under steady-state conditions. The room behaves as a CMFR, and the decay of radon is a first-order reaction with a decay rate con- stant of 2.09 × 10-6 s-1. If the source of radon is closed off and the room is vented with radon-free air at a rate of 0.14 m³ s-1, how long will it take to lower the radon concentration to an acceptable level of 0.15 Bq L-¹?
