Question: Derive an expression that can be used to compute the effluent concentration from a free surface constructed wetland system, designated as an ideal plug flow

Derive an expression that can be used to compute the effluent concentration from a free surface constructed wetland system, designated as an ideal plug flow reactor, assuming removal of the constituent in the question can be described as follows
(i) a retarded first order reaction
r=kC/(1+r_t t)
(ii) a retarded second order reaction
r=(kC^2)/(1+r_t t)
If the value of retardation coefficient rt is equal to 0.2, compare effluent concentration with and without retardation? Assume the following values: C0=1, k=0.1, t=1
