Question

Calculate volume and weight of sludge generated in thickener by chemical coagulation.
Data given as:
Wastewater flow: 10000 m3/d
Inlet concentration: 1100 mg/L
FeCl3 added: 500 mg/L
CaO added: 400 mg/L
Overall particle removal efficiency: 80%
Sludge’s specific gravity: 1.05
Sludge’s moisture content: 95%
Assume STANDARD chemical reactions and their product’s behavior as:
FeCl3 + H2O → Fe(OH)3
CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2
