Chapter 7, Problem 7.63P

Arsenic contamination of aquifers is a major health problem in much of the world and is particularly severe in Bangladesh. One method of removing the arsenic is to pump water from an aquifer to the surface and through a bed packed with granular material containing iron oxide. which binds the arsenic. The puri?ed water is then either used or allowed to seep back through the ground into the aquifer.

In an installation of the type just described, a pump draws 69.1 gallons per minute of contaminated water from an aquifer through a 3-inch ID pipe and then discharges the water through a 2-inch ID pipe to an open overhead tank ?lled with granular material. The water leaves the end of the discharge line 80 feet above the water in the aquifer. The friction losses in the piping system are 10ft(lbf/lbm.

(a) lf the pump is 70% ef?cient (i.e., 30% of the electrical energy delivered to the pump is not used in pumping the water), what is the required pump horsepower?

(b) Even if we assume that the iron oxide binds 100% of the arsenic, what other factors limit the effectiveness of this operation?

Q2] The reaction AR + S is irreversible and first order. It is conducted in a PFR with 50 tubes, each with 0.5 in diameter and 1.0 m of height. 200 kg/h of reactant A (MW-80 g/gmol) with 30% inert is introduced at a pressure of 50 atm at 500°C. The output conversion is 80%. Calculate the average residence time.
