Question 1 Alum (Alz (SO4)3 14H2O) is being used in a coagulation process to form precipitate for treating water. A stock solution of alum is prepared on-site with a concentration of 3.21 mol/L [AP]. Below is a jar test data for removing turbidity from raw effluent water. For a plant with a capacity of 30000 m/d, calculate the chemical feed rate in L/min, the alkalinity consumed (expressed as mg L as CaCO;), the amount of precipitate produced in mg/L and kg/day, and the amount of NaOH that would need to be added to counteract the consumption of alkalinity by alum.
