A company uses a 50% solution of NaOH to maintain the pH of water circulated in one of its furnace exhaust scrubbers. The cost of the solution is $200 per ton f.o.h. (free-on-board), The supplier says it would prefer to sell the company a 65% NaOH solution and the company says the water content is immaterial ap long as the equivalent costs are the same including freight If the freight is $15 per ton, what is the maximum price per ton the company should pay for the 65% solution?

Your organization has been hired to provide a water treatment process or device toremove toxic Chromium 6 [Cr(VI)] from water emanating from an underground source.Your organization has developed a treatment process that removes most of the Cr(VI)from the water to a residual concentration of 0.05 mg/L which is an acceptable level inline with the World Health Organisation. The underground water flows at 40 m3/h andhas Cr(VI) concentration of 100mg/L. The effluent flow rate is 97% of the influent flowrate, and the remainder of the water is discharged as wastewater. Calculate theconcentration of Cr(VI) in wastewater.
Problem 6. A new manufacturing facility is being located in your town. It plans to produce 2,000 m³/day of a wastewater that consists primarily of water and the chemical phenol dissolved in it at a concentration of 5 mg/L. Phenol has a chemical formula of C,H5OH. The company has asked the municipal wastewater treatment to consider treating this industrial waste. Your plant currently treats 30,000 m³/day with an average influent of 350 mg COD/L. a) Estimate the increase in COD loading (kg COD/day) if you accept the industrial waste discharge? b) Estimate the additional amount of oxygen (in kg O2/day) needed to oxidize the phenol at the treatment plant.
Note: Kindly provide a solution pls. The answer is already provided. Thank you! 1.19 A high concentrated solution having a volume of 120 liters is mixed by 9% alcohol and24% gasoline. It was found out that a 50-50 percent mixture is also appropriate in thesolution. How much gasoline (liters) should be added to the high concentrated solutionin order to have the 50-50 % mixture?

An industry wants to locate a chemical plant in your city, they expect to generate 25,000 gal/hr of waste containing 800 mg/L of BOD wastes (reactive) and 15,000 mg/L of inert (non-reactive) materials. The industry wants to recycle 300 gal/min (containing 20 mg/L BOD and 400 mg/L of salts) of discharge (effluent) from the municipal wastewater treatment plant to dilute their waste to 6,000 mg/L of inerts prior to pre-treating the wastes on their own property. If the rate constant for the first order degradation of BOD5 to be 0.75/hr, how big must the reactor be to treat the BOD entering the reactor to 200 mg/L?
