A process engineer performed jar tests for a water in order to determine the optimal pH and dose using alum. A test was conducte

d by first dosing each jar with the same alum dose of 10 mg/L and varying pH in each jar from 5.0 to 7.5 with an increment of 0.5 unit of pH. After the first test, he/she plotted the results of remaining turbidity versus pH and found the optimal pH was 6.25. He/she continuously perform a second set of jar tests by holding the optimal pH of 6.25 constant and varying alum doses from 10 to 15 mg/L. Here are the results:
Results of Jar Tests for raw water at optimal pH of 6.25
Turbidity of raw water = 15 NTU
Alkalinity of raw water = 5 mg/L expressed as CaCO3.

Determine:
1) Plot turbidity versus dose and find the optimal dose of alum (mg/L) with the water lowest remaining turbidity.
2) The theoretical amount of alkalinity consumed at the optimal dose expressed as CaCO3, mg/L.
3) Compared with the theoretical alkalinity from the above results, is the raw water alkalinity sufficient for the coagulation? If not, what kinds of chemical do you need in order to enhance the alkalinity?

Answer:

1) 13 mg/liters

2)  72.22 mg/lit

3)  The Alkanity in raw water is not sufficient enough and the kinds of chemicals needed to enhance its acidity are

  • CaO
  • KOH
  • Na2CO3
  • NaOH
  • CO2
  • NaHCO3

Explanation:

1) plot of turbidity versus dose and optimal dose of Alum ( mg/L )

Optimal dose of Alum = 13 mg/liters from the graph attached below

2) Theoretical amount of alkalinity consumed at the optimal dose can be calculated as follows

Alkanity is due to HCO^-_{3}

given optimal dose of Alum = 13 mg/liters for question 1

I mole of alum = 2 moles of AL(OH)3

666 grams of alum = 2*27 = 54 grams of AL(OH)3

hence 1 mole of AL^{+3}  = (13/54 ) mMole / lit

The  moles of HCO3 = 6 * \frac{13}{54}   because 1 mole of Alum reacts with 6 moles of HC03

[HCO3] as CaCO3 = 6 * (13/54) * 50

                               = 72.22 mg/lit (theoretical amount of alkalinity consumed)

3) The Alkanity in raw water is not sufficient enough and the kinds of chemicals needed to enhance its acidity are

  • CaO
  • KOH
  • Na2CO3
  • NaOH
  • CO2
  • NaHCO3

Explain the two advantages and the two disadvantages of fission as an energy source.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer with Explanation:

1) The advantages of fission energy are:

a) Higher concentration of energy : Concentration of energy or the energy density is defined as the amount of energy that is produced by burning a unit mass of the fuel. The nuclear energy obtained by fission has the highest energy density among all the other natural sources of energy such as coal,gas,e.t.c.

b) Cheap source of energy : The cost at which the energy is produced by a nuclear reactor after it is operational is the lowest among all the other sources of energy such as coal, solar,e.t.c

2) The disadvantages of fission energy are:

a) Highly dangerous residue: The fuel that is left unspent is highly radioactive and thus is very dangerous. Usually the residual material is taken deep into the earth for it's disposal.

b) It has high initial costs of design and development: The cost to design a nuclear reactor and to built one after it is designed is the most among all other types of energy sources and requires highly skilled personnel for operation.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

In automated welding, defined as “welding with equipment that requires only occasional or no observation of the weld, and no manual adjustment of the equipment controls,” the welder's involvement is limited to activating the machine to initiate the welding cycle and observing the weld on an intermittent basis.

How much work, in Newtons, is required to lift a 20.4-kg (45lb) plate from the ground to a stand that is 1.50 meters up?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work, U, is equal to the force times the distance:

U = F · r

Force needed to lift the weight, is equal to the weight: F = W = m · g

so:

U = m · g · r

   = 20.4kg · 9.81 \frac{N}{kg} · 1.50m

   = 35.316 \frac{N}{m}

   = 35.316 W

Where does Mr. Teller work? What do they do there?
natulia [17]

Most business owners begin his business in order to increase profit and to expand.

<h3>What are Business Practices?</h3>

This refers to the various ways in which a business owner decides to organize his business and the policies which guides it.

With this in mind, we can see that Mr X believes that it is a good business practice to <em>prioritize the work</em> that seems the most difficult and the most likely to kill their projects but this is not a good business practice because it can put the entire business in jeopardy.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview so that you could get a better understanding of the concept.
