Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are commonly detected in treated wastewater effluent all over the world. There is concern that they may act as endocrine disruptors. The half-life of medication carbamazepine is 260 days in a lagoon, the lagoon can be considered as batch reactor, according to second-order kinetics, the initial concentration of carbamazepine is 1 mg/L. What is the rate constant k, and the unit of k?
