1. Water is frequently disinfected with chlorine gas, forming hypochlorous acid (HOCI), which partially ionizes to hypochlorite (OCI) and hydrogen ions as follows: HOCI H+ + OCI- The concentration of HOCI, which is the desired disinfectant, depends on the water pH. a) Write the equations to express the two ionization fractions for HOCI, that is, ao and ai.

Environmental Engineering: A lake with a constant volume of 10*106 m3 is fed by a pollution-free stream with a flow rate of 50m3/s. A factory dumps 5m3/s of a nonconservative waste with a concentration of 100mg/L into the lake. The pollutant has a reaction coefficient rate, k, of 0.25/day. Assuming the pollutant is well mixed in the lake, find the steady state concentration of the pollutant in the lake.
5. In water and wastewater treatment processes a filtration device may be used to remove water from the sludge formed by a precipitation reaction. The initial concentration of sludge from a softening reaction is 2 percent (20,000 mg/L) and the volume of sludge is 100 m3. After filtration the sludge solids concentration is 35 percent. Assume that the sludge does not change density during filtration, and that liquid removed from the sludge contains no sludge. Using the mass balance method, determine the volume of sludge after filtration.
Water with a dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of 0.94 mg/L enters a well-mixed tankat a rate of 1500 L/min. The tank volume is 280 m3. In the tank, bacteria consume the oxygen for metabolism proportionally to the amount of oxygen present (if they use it at a rate r = k1 · DO, where k1 = 0.0021 min−1). Oxygen is dissolving into the water at a rate proportional to the degree of undersaturation (i.e., at a rate given by r = k2(DOsat − DO), where k2 = 0.0021 min−1 and DOsat = 8.5 mg/L. What is the steady-state concentration ofDO? Answer in units of mg/L.

A Haldane modification of the Monod reaction is often used to describe the kinetics of substrate utilization when the substrate itself is toxic at high concentrations (phenol is an example of this). (1) Calculate the effluent concentration for a substrate exhibiting Haldane kinetics from a CSTR (continuously stirred tank reactor) and (2) compare this with the value if the substrate were not inhibitory (S2/Ki = 0) for the following conditions: V = 24 m3 Q = 9 m3/d S0 = 400 mg/L Y = 0.5 mg/mg q = 7.5 g/g•d K = 7 mg/L b = 0.1 d-1 Ki = 15 mg/L Hint: θx = (active biomass in the system)/(production rate of active biomass) = V/Q And 1/θx = (YqS)/(K + S + S2/Ki) – b
