Environmental Engineering When methanol is used to generate hydrogen, it reacts with the following reaction: CH3OH>>>>CO+2H2 The reaction is second order in methanol, and it is observed that 100g of carbon monoxide can be produced in one day in a batch reactor, if you start with 200g of methanol. What is the rate constant for this reaction?

When methanol is used to generate hydrogen, it reacts with the following reaction: CH3OH => CO + 2 H2 The reaction is second order with regards to methanol (CH3OH) and it is observed that 100 g/L of carbon monoxide (CO) can be produced in one day in a batch reactor, if you start with 200 g/L of methanol. What is the rate constant of this reaction (don’t forget to include units)?

Design a laboratory scale chemostat to aerobically treat a 10 liters per day of a synthetic wastewater containing 500 mg/L of glucose. In order to design and operate such a chemostat you will need to not only need to calculate the volume of the reactor, but you also need to determine the amount of oxygen that must be supplied and at what rate, and the amount of biomass produced and the composition of the effluent (i.e., effluent COD and biomass concentration). Make reasonable assumptions for all necessary parameters you may need for this problem. Make sure to check units of parameters assumed.
