Please upload your full solution to the following problem.
Calculate the bed life, volume of water treated, minimum carbon usage rate (CUR), and maximum
specific throughput for trichloroethene (TCE) given the following design specifications:
●
.
B
Influent concentration = 1 mg/L TCE
Carbon type: Calgon Filtrasorb 400 (12 x 40 mesh); Pb = 450 g/L
Freundlich parameters for TCE
Freundlich capacity parameter K = 55.9 (mg/g)(L/mg)1/n
Freundlich intensity parameter 1/n = 0.48
Treatment objective = 0.005 mg/L TCE
Flow rate = 378.5 L/min (100 gal/min)
Empty bed contact (EBCT) = 10 min
.
●
Assume that no other solutes compete with TCE for adsorption onto the GAC, and that the GAC is
saturated at the influent concentration.
