Question:
- Three CSTRs of equal volume are to be used in series to treat wastewater. The influent flow has a pollutant concentration of 150 mg/L with a flow rate of 380 L/min. The reaction is first-order with a rate constant of 0.4/hr. Expressing all volumes in Liters, determine
- a. The residence time of the wastewater in each reactor if the overall conversion is 90% and the required volume of each of the reactors.
- b. The total residence time and the total volume for the three reactors.
- C. The concentration of the pollutant in effluent from each of the reactors.
- d. The residence time and the volume for a single CSTR have the same conversion or removal of the pollutant.
