Your organization has been hired to provide a water treatment process or device to remove toxic Chromium 6 [Cr(VI)] from water emanating from an underground source. Your organization has developed a treatment process that removes most of the Cr(VI) from the water to a residual concentration of 0.05 mg/L which is an acceptable level in line with the World Health Organisation. The underground water flows at 40 m3 /h and has Cr(VI) concentration of 100mg/L. The effluent flow rate is 97% of the influent flow rate, and the remainder of the water is discharged as wastewater. Calculate the concentration of Cr(VI) in wastewater.

Question

Your organization has been hired to provide a water treatment process or device to
remove toxic Chromium 6 [Cr(VI)] from water emanating from an underground source.
Your organization has developed a treatment process that removes most of the Cr(VI)
from the water to a residual concentration of 0.05 mg/L which is an acceptable level in
line with the World Health Organisation. The underground water flows at 40 m3
/h and
has Cr(VI) concentration of 100mg/L. The effluent flow rate is 97% of the influent flow
rate, and the remainder of the water is discharged as wastewater. Calculate the
concentration of Cr(VI) in wastewater.
