Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

A drinking water treatment plant wants to compare the efficacy of three different solid coagulants, Alum [Al(OH)3(s)], Lime (CaCO3(s)), and Ferric Chloride (FeCl3(s)), for removing the phosphate (PO43-) level to 1 mg/L. The following are the equilibrium reactions [and the respective equilibrium constants (or solubility products, Ksp)] that result in phosphate removalfor each solid, the second reaction being more relevant in each case: Alum: Al(OH)3(s) ↔ Al3+ + 3OH- AlPO4(s) ↔ Al3+ + PO43- Ksp = 9.84 x 10-21 Lime: CaCO3(s) ↔ Ca2+ + CO32- Ca3(PO4)2(s) ↔ Ca2+ + PO43- Ksp = 1 x10-27 Ferric Chloride: FeCl3 (s) ↔ Fe3+ + 3Cl- Fe(PO4)(s) ↔ Fe3+ + PO43- Ksp = 1x10-26.4 What concentrations of Fe 3+, Al3+, and Ca2+ will be needed to maintain a phosphate concentration of 1 mg/L?

A ground water with salinity (TDS) of 2850 mg/L is treated with reverse osmosis desalination process for drinking water production and the permeate salinity (TDS) is measured to be 200 mg/L. The feed flow rate and permeate flow rate of the membrane process are 4000m³/d and 3200m³/d, respectively. It is known the resistance of the membrane Rm is 10¹¹ Pa-s/m and the driving pressure AP is 10 bar. The osmotic pressure of the water can be determined by the rule of thumb (psi) = 0.01 TDS (mg/L). Determine (1) the required salt rejection rate of the membrane, (2) the recovery of the RO process, (3) the permeate flux through the membrane and the required membrane area, (4) the flow rate and salinity (TDS) of the concentrate flow.
A Pump & Treat water treatment system at a contaminated site is designed to treat 5 m3/d of ground water in a reactor designed as a well mixed system. The effluent must meet quality standards of 25 mg/L of Iron. The treatment reactor’s 20 m3 volume is believed to be insufficient to achieve the standard. The ground water has an iron concentration of 100 mg/L and the treatment reactor has a kinetic constant of 0.5 d-1. – Confirm that the treatment system will NOT meet the effluent quality standards. – If not modify the design by adding a PFR system (using same treatment process and kinetics), what volume should the PFR addition be?

A treatment plant has been designed to achieve 99 percent inactivation of Giardia Lamblia using chlorine dioxide. The engineer used data on the disinfection of Giardia Lamblia at 20°C for the design, but the plant operates in a northern climate, and current estimates are that the low water temperature in some winters will be 0.5°C. Estimate the expansion required in the contact chamber in order to achieve the same inactivation at that temperature. You may assume complete mixing in the contact chamber and that the inactivation of Giardia Lamblia follows the Chick-Watson relationship. Ct values for achieving 90% inactivation of Giardia Lamblia (mg.min/L) Temperature (°C) 0.5 °C 5 °C 10 °C 15 °C Chlorine 0.97 0.63 0.48 0.32 dioxide * Note that the chick Watson's disinfection rate constant is a function of temperature. 20 °C 0.24 25 °C 0.16
