Question: ? a Not in m g L . a ) If the water is treated with 3 0 m g L of ferric chloride (

?a Not in mgL.
a) If the water is treated with 30mgL of ferric chloride (FeCl3) for turbidity coagulation,
how much alkalinity will remain? Ignore the side reactions with phosphorus and
assume all the alkalinity is HCO3.
b) Rework problem 3-a, but instead, estimate how much alkalinity would remain if 30
mgL of alum (Al2(SO4)3*14H2O) were used instead of ferric chloride.
c) Baton Rouge has a population of 227,715 people. Estimate the daily emissions of CO2
(kg) associated with treatment of the water from problem 3 when ( i ) alum is used as a
coagulant, and (ii) ferric chloride is used as a coagulant. (iii) Recommend a coagulant
if the city is interested in minimizing global warming potential associated with CO2
production. For the manufacture of alum and ferric chloride, assume 0.5kgCOK2eq/
kg alum produced, 0.18kgCO2eqkg ferric chloride produced. Assume the average
demand for water in Baton Rouge is 440 Lpod.
