A polluted air stream flowing at 12,000 acfm at 90 °F and 1 atm has a concentration of 500 ppm of ethylbenzene (C8H10). Pilot plant studies of the adsorption process indicate that 11 lb (net) of ethylbenzene will be adsorbed per 100 lb of carbon during normal everyday operations. Calculate the minimum amount of carbon needed m one bed for a two-hour run time. Give your answer In pounds.

You are treating 10 million gallons per day (MGD) of water with alum at a dosage of 50.0 mg/L. Alum is available as a hydrated salt Al2(SO4)3.16H2O. Determine:(a) The monthly alum dosage required in metric tons/month (1 metric ton = 1000 kg)(b) If you assume that each equivalent of alum added to the water consumes 1 equivalent of alkalinity, determine the alkalinity consumed by alum addition in milliequivalents/L (meq/L)(c) Given that the raw water contained 30 mg/L as CaCO3 of alkalinity, is the alkalinity sufficient? What would happen if the alkalinity is inadequate?

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).
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.
