7. A contaminated soil is to be excavated and treated in a completely mixed aerated lagoon at a Superfund site. To determine the time that will take to treat the contaminated soil, a lab completely mixed batch reactor is used to gather the following data. Assuming a first-order reaction, estimate the rate constant, k and determine the time (t) to achieve 99% reduction in the original concentration. Time (day) Day 1 Day 16 Note that the 1st order batch system follows, C = Coet Waster Concentration (mg/L) 280 132

A BOD test is run using 100 ml of treated waste H20 mixed with 200ml of pure water. The initial DO of the mixture is 9.0 mg/ml. After 5 days, Do id 4.0 mg/ml. What is the 5-day BOD of the waste water?
The results of a jar test on a surface water supply sample revealed that the optimum dose of alum (Al2(SO4)3.14H2O) as coagulant is 17 mg/L. Furthermore, the water has total alkalinity = 50 mg/L as CaCO3; pH = 7.8; and residual turbidity at optimum alum dose = 4 NTU. The water treatment plant has a mean flow of 10m3/hour. Determine: The kg of alum per year needed in the operation of the plant. The residual alkalinity in the sample, following the addition of alum at optimum dose. Solve parts (a) and (b) if instead of alum, ferric chloride (FeCl3) were used as coagulant. Assume the numerical jar test results are the same as those with alum.

Answer and show complete solution. Pls don't rejectA factory discharges waste water to a nearby river. The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) a few meters downstream of the factory’s discharge point was recorded for 10 consecutive days as shown in the table below.
