For a flow of 15,000 m3/d containing 60 mg/L suspended solids, ferric sulfate is used as a coagulant at a dose of 40 mg/L. Assuming there is little alkalinity in the water, what is the daily lime dose required to arrest any drop in pH? If the sedimentation basin removes 85% of the solids entering it, what is the daily solids production from the sedimentation basin?

A mine is planning to use a silty sand mixed with sodium enriched bentonite to line awastewater lagoon that will retain process water from mineral extraction. The lagoonwill retain the water before it is treated at the wastewater treatment plant. Calciumenriched lime is added to the water during the mineral extraction process, whichleaves the water rich in calcium. Will the process water affect the hydraulicconductivity of the silty sand-bentonite mixture? Why?
A completely mixed activated sludge process operating at equilibrium is designed to treat 300 MLD of waste water. The influent and effluent BOD are 200 mg/1 and 18 mg/1 respectively If the F M then the hydraulic retention time is A 0.125 day B 4.21 hours C 8.42 hours D 0.225 day = 0.3 and MLSS is 3800 mg/1,
