Question: . PAC can be added to a batch reactor to treat a contaminated water. What is the daily PAC usage ( in Kg / day

. PAC can be added to a batch reactor to treat a contaminated water. What is the daily PAC usage (in Kg/day) for a batch reactor if the flow rate is 1,000 m3/day for the following two waters? Assume that the temperature and pH of the waters is the same as those of the isotherm. Use the Freundlich isotherm [K =70.8(mg/g)(L/mg)1/n and 1/n =0.20] for these calculations.
a.For a water with an influent phenol conc. of 600 mg/L and an effluent phenol conc. of 5 mg/L, what is daily PAC usage (in Kg/day)?
b. For a water containing an influent phenol conc. of 50 mg/L and requiring an effluent phenol concentration of 0.7 mg/L (700 mg/L), what is daily PAC usage (in Kg/day)?
