A paint shop buys 52,000 liters of car paint based on VOC. In one year, they applied 50,800 liters of same paint onto the products and the remainder turned out to become a waste. Assuming the waste disposed in an air-tight container and none accumulates in the shop or anywhere else, a. Determine the mass of VOCs entered into the atmosphere (in kg/year) if the density of paint is 8.30 lb/gallon and 75% by weight of VOCs are present in the paint. b. It was later found that the air-tight waste container had a leak. What will be the maximum mass of VOCs would have entered into the atmosphere in the same year?

You have been contracted to determine the characteristics of raw water at 20°C. You complete a chlorine dosing experiment to aid in designing your chlorination process (Figure Below).a. What is the breakpoint chlorine dosage?b. What is the chlorine demand at a chlorine dosage of 1.2 mg/L?c. For a plant that processes 10 m3/hr, how much chlorine should I add per day to reach a constant residual chlorine concentration of 0.7 mg/ld. Design a chlorine contact tank that would achieve the required Ct value for a 3 log deactivation of Girardia (Ct = 54 mg/l min).

Can I get a thorough step by step for this question? Each month the speedy dry-cleaning company buys 1.75 barrel (0.28 m') of dry-cleaning fluid. The amount of fluid lost to the atmosphere as emission is 210 kg/month and the remaining remains as residue to be disposed of. The density of the dry-cleaning fluid is 1.5940 g/mL. Draw a mass-balance diagram and estimate the monthly % of mass residue to be dosposed of.
Draw a complete process flow diagram for a conventional filtration drinking water treatment plant, labeling each component and indicating its purpose (what it is designed to remove or how it affects removal in subsequent processes). Disinfection by-products: why are they a problem, how are they formed, and how does a conventional filtration plant minimize their formation? The purpose of coagulation and flocculation is to prepare colloidal particles for removal from water or wastewater by a downstream process of settling and/or filtration. The coagulants that are commonly used have two different functions that you should explain. Explain how (the dreaded chemistry) the addition of alum decreases alkalinity and tends to lower the pH of the treated water. (you may want to have a separate slide or graphic to help you explain this). Make sure to discuss how the mixing systems differ between the coagulation (rapid mix) and flocculation (slow mix) steps in the process. Talk about the…
A tank contains 1,500 L of water and 20 kg of dissolved salt. Fresh water is enteringthe tank at 15 L/min (the solution stays perfectly mixed), and the solution drains at a rateof 10 L/min. How much salt is in the tank at t minutes and at 10 minutes?
Question 1 A reactive chemical disposed of by dilution in a river dissipates at a uniform rate of 0.15 mg/l per hour. The waste discharge is 7 million gallons per day containing 35 mg/l, while the stream has zero concentration with a flow above the sewer outfall of 102 ft/s. If the mean velocity in the river is 0.8 ft/s, calculate the distance downstream that the chemical residual persists.
A family consists of an adult male weighing 70 kg, an adult female weighing 50 kg, and a child weighing 15 kg. The air they breathe contains 1 µg/m3 of a listed carcinogenic chemical, and the waste they drink contains 1 µg/L of the same chemical. Assume the air intake for adult and child is 20 m3 /day and water intake for adult and child is 2 L/day. The body retains 80% of the air pollutant and 100% of the water pollutant. Estimate the total chemical dose per kg of body weight for each family member per day correctly.
