1. A settling column analysis is run on a type -1 suspension. The settling column is 2 m tall, and the initial concentration of the well- mixed sample is 600mg/L. Results of the analysis are shown below. What is the theoretical efficiency of the settling tank that receives this suspension if the loading rate is 2 cm/min.
