2. Cadmium is a pollutant of concern in mining. The initial concentration of cadmium in a mining wastewater (also called acid mine drainage) is 0.1 mg/L, and the EPA Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is 0.005 mg/L. What must the pH be so that the wastewater does not exceed the EPA MCL? Given: Cd(OH)2 → Cď²* + OH (unbalanced) K, = 5.33 x 1015 Cd(OH)2: Cd2+ = 112.4 g/mol 17.0 g/mol = 146.4 g/mol OH- =

Advection, diffusion, and reaction in a channel Approximately 50 m3 of an agricultural pesticide with an initial concentration of 1.6 × 105 mol/m3 have been spilled into a stream following a train derailment. You have been called in to predict the aqueous concentrations of this pesticide at various points along the stream, and the mass that will be delivered to a lake with critical habitat 70 km downstream. You look up the main component of the pesticide and see that it degrades in water (due to hydrolysis reaction) with a half-life of 1.9 h. The discharge rate of the stream is 75,000 L/min. It has an average depth of 0.3 m and an average width of 1.2 m. a. Calculate the maximum concentration (in mol/L) of the pesticide that will be observed at a town 10 km downstream and at the point where the stream reaches the lake, 70 km downstream. Assume a sheer velocity of 0.40 m/s. b. Plot the concentration of this pesticide entering the town and the lake with time. Care should be taken when…
The base of a river in in contact with the top of an aquifer. A truck carrying bags of powdered cyanide is on a bridge crossing the river when a large bump causes one of the bags to fall into the river. The water in the river suddenly becomes polluted by the cyanide with a concentrations of 6.78 mg/L. The aquifer has an average linear ground water velocity of 0.256 m/day. Laboratory analyses data indicates that longitudinal dispersivity can be found through the equation: a = 0.86(log Ls)² where Ls is the length of the straight line path between two points along the path of transport. Find the longitudinal dispersion 108 m downstream from the bridge. Assume that the cyanide solute has a diffusion coefficient of 3.6 x 10 -5 m²/s and the aquifer has a coefficient related to tortuosity (o) equal to 0.8. Find the coefficient of hydrodynamic dispersion.
