Advanced oxidation processes can be employed to remove organic and inorganic contaminants during the treatment of water and wastewater. The reaction between the hydroxyl radical (HO), the material responsible for removing contaminants during treatemnt, and the target compound, R, is represented as follows: HO. + R → byproducts The second order rate law for decay of the target compound, rR, corresponding to this reaction is: TR KRCHO-CR Estimate the volume of a PFR reactor needed to achieve 95 percent reduction of chlorobenzene, by advanced oxidation, using HO concentrations of 10-9 moles/L ; 10-10 moles/L; and 10-11 moles/L, if the flowrate is 3800 m³/day, k is 4.3*10⁹ L/mol-s and the initial concentration of chlorobenzene is 25 µg/L for each reactor.
