A water contains 50.40 mg/L as CaCO3 of carbon dioxide, 190.00 mg/L as CaCO3 of Ca2 and 55.00 mg/L as CaCO3 of Mg2 . All of the

hardness is carbonate hardness. Using the stoichiometry of the lime soda ash softening equations, what is the daily sludge production (in dry weight, kg/day) if the plant treats water at a rate of 2.935 m^3/s. Assume that the effluent water contains no carbon dioxide, 30.0 mg. L^-1 as CaCO3 of Ca2+ and 10.0 mg.L^1 as CaCO3 of Mg2+. Be sure to calculate the mass of CaC03 and Mg(OH)2 sludge produced each day.

Answer:

Total sludge = 123426kg/d

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

H2Co3 + Ca(OH)2 ⇆ CaCo3 + 2H20

   1              1                   1              2 moles

Calculating the concentration of C02, we have

Concentration of C02 = concentration of CaCo3/Molecular weight of Caco3

                                     = 50.4/100.09

                                     = 0.5035mol/L

Sludge of Co2 = Conc. of Co2 * Q * MW of CaCo3 *10^-6

                         = 0.5035 * 253.6 *10^6 * 100.09 * 10^-6

                         = 12780kg/d

From the equation Ca2+ + 2HCo3- + Ca(OH)2 ⇄ 2CaCo3 + 2H2O

1 mole of calcium yields 2 moles of CaCo3

Therefore, Concentration of Ca2+ = Conc. of CaCo3/Mw of CaCO3

                                                         = 190-30/100.09

                                                         =1.599mol/L

Calculating sludge of calcium:

Sludge of Ca = 2 * Conc. of ca * Q * mw of CaCO3 * 10^-6

                       = 2 * 1.599 *253.6*10^6* 100.09 * 10^-6

                       = 811742kg/d

From the equation,

Mg2+ +2HCO3- + Ca(OH)2 ⇄ MgCO3 + 2CaCO3 + 2H2O

1 mole of mg yields 2 moles CaCO3 and 1 mole of Mg(OH)2

Concentration of Mg2+ = Conc, of CaCO3 /Mw of CaCo3

                                       = 55- 10/100.09

                                       = 0.4496mol/L

Sludge of Mg = 2 *  Conc. of Mg * Q * mw of CaCO3 * 10^-6 +* Conc. of Mg * Q * mw of Mg(OH)2 * 10^-6

= 2 * 0.4496 * 253.5*10^6 * 100.09 * 10^-6 + 0.4996* 253.5*10^6 58.3 * 10^-6

= 29472kg/d

Total Sludge = Sludge of CO2 + Sludge of Ca + Sludge of Mg

                      12780+ 81174 + 29472

                       = 123426kg/d

The fracture strength of glass may be increased by etching away a thin surface layer. It is believed that the etching may alter
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

the ratio of the etched to the original crack tip radius is 30.24

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we determine the initial fracture stress using the following expression;

(σf)₁ = 2(σ₀)₁ [ α₁/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2 ----- let this be equation 1

where; (σ₀)₁ is the initial fracture strength

(p_t)₁ is the original crack tip radius

α₁ is the original crack length.

first, we determine the final crack length;

α₂ = α₁ - 16% of α₁

α₂ = α₁ - ( 0.16 × α₁)

α₂ = α₁ - 0.16α₁

α₂ = 0.84α₁

next, we calculate the final fracture stress;

the fracture strength is increased by a factor of 6;

(σ₀)₂ = 6( σ₀ )₁

Now, expression for the final fracture stress

(σf)₂ = 2(σ₀)₂ [ α₂/(p_t)₂ ]^{1/2 ------- let this be equation 2

where (p_t)₂ is the etched crack tip radius

value of fracture stress of glass is constant

Now, we substitute 2(σ₀)₁ [ α₁/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2 from equation for (σf)₂  in equation 2.

0.84α₁ for α₂.

6( σ₀ )₁ for (σ₀)₂.

∴

2(σ₀)₁ [ α₁/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2  = 2(6( σ₀ )₁) [ 0.84α₁/(p_t)₂ ]^{1/2  

divide both sides by 2(σ₀)₁

[ α₁/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2  =  6 [ 0.84α₁/(p_t)₂ ]^{1/2

[ 1/(p_t)₁ ]^{1/2  =  6 [ 0.84/(p_t)₂ ]^{1/2

[ 1/(p_t)₁ ]  =  36 [ 0.84/(p_t)₂ ]

1 / (p_t)₁ = 30.24 / (p_t)₂

(p_t)₂ = 30.24(p_t)₁

(p_t)₂/(p_t)₁ = 30.24

Therefore, the ratio of the etched to the original crack tip radius is 30.24
