In an insecticide-manufacturing unit, the gases coming out of a micro-fine grinding unit, containing 600 µg of sulfur / m3 of gas, are sent to a bag filter. If the flow rate of the gases through the bag filter is 1000 m3 / minute, how much sulfur will be separated in the bag filter in kg/day? Assume that all sulfur particles are separated in the bag filter

A water treatment plant with an average flow of Q = 0.8 m3/s treats its water with alum at a dose of 27 mg/L. Alum (Al2(SO4)3. 14.3 H2O) coagulation is used to remove particulate matter, reduce the concentration of organic matter, and reduce the alkalinity of the water. Determine the total mass of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) consumed per day (kg/d, no decimal point) (atomic mass: Al: 27, S: 32, H: 1, O: 16).
A water treatment plant with an average flow of Q = 0.5 m3/s treats its water with alum at a dose of 34 mg/L. Alum (Al2(SO4)3. 14.3 H2O)coagulation is used to remove particulate matter, reduce the concentration of organic matter, and reduce the alkalinity of the water. Determine the total mass of alkalinity (HCO3-) consumed per day (kg/d, no decimal point) (atomic mass: Al: 27, S: 32, H: 1, O: 16, C: 12)
Particle emissions in a house. The power goes out in your apartment (volume = 150 m3) at night, so you decide to light a few candles. These candles have a combined particle emission rate of E = 2.0 mg/h. Your apartment has a ventilation flow of 1.5 m3/min and the particles have a first order loss rate (due to deposition, which acts similar to a reaction) of 0.25 h−1, so: Write the differential equation and define the source and loss terms. Calculate the values for the source and loss terms and rewrite the differential equation with these values. What is the steady state particle concentration in your house (in μg/m3)? Write the time-varying solution to this problem and calculate the particle concentration after 1 hour of candle-burning (in μg/m3). If after 1 h of lighting the candles the power returns and the candles are all immediately put out, what will be the particle concentration 3 h after first lighting the candles?
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?
Dusty air at a fertilizer plant flows through a 70%-efficient cyclone and then through an ESP. The inlet air to the cyclone has a dust loading of 50 grains/cubic foot. The outlet air from the ESP actually contains dust at 0.50 grains/cubic foot. Calculate the efficiency of the ESP.

9. What is the dissolved oxygen concentration in water at 10°C if it is only at 60% sat uration? Express your answer in mg/L.
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.
