Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.28P
In froth ?otation, air is bubbled through an aqueous solution or slurry to which a foaming agent (soap) has been added. The air-soap bubbles carry ?nely dispersed solids and hydrophobic materials such as grease and oil to the surface where they can be skimmed off in the foam.
An ore-containing slurry is to be processed in a froth ?otation tank at a rate of 300 tons/h. The slurry consists of 20.0 wt% solids (the ore, SG = 1.2) and the remainder an aqueous solution with a density close to that of water. Air is sparged (blown through a nozzle designed to produce small bubbles) into the slurry at a rate of 40.0 ft3(STP)/1000 gal of slurry. The entry point of the air is 10 ft below the slurry surface. The tank contents are at 75°F and the barometric pressure is 28.3 inches of Hg. The sparger design is such that the average bubble diameter on entry is 2.0 mm.
(a) What is the volumetric ?ow rate of the air at its entering conditions?
(b) By what percentage does the average bubble diameter change between the entry point and the slurry surface?

- Phosphate often needs to be removed from wastewater because it will cause eutrophication of receiving waters. At the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment plant, they add MgCl2 to the pressate (concentrated liquid pressed from sludge) to precipitate phosphate as the mineral struvite. Struvite is formed by the reaction of phosphate with magnesium ions and ammonium, and the solubility product for struvite is 5.5x10-14. The ammonium concentration is very high at 300 mg N-NH4/L because the sludge is coming from an anaerobic digester. What minimum amount of MgCl2 (in mg/L) would be needed to precipitate all but 1 mg/L phosphate?

- The Debye-Hückel Theory and the Güntelberg and Davies Approximations are not accurate for very high ionic-strength solutions like seawater. Thus, more complicated methods must be used to calculate activity coefficients in seawater, or they can be determined experimentally.
