determine using split treatment the lime and soda ash dose,in mg/L as CaCO3 to soften the following water to final hardness of 80mg/L as caco3 .
if the price of lime purchased as CaO is 100$ per megagram and for soda ash purchased as Na2CO3 is 200$ per mega gram
what is the annual chemical cost of treating 0.5 m3/s of ths water ?
assume lime is 93% pure and soda ash is 95% pure
given
calcium(ca+2) =200mg/L as CaCO3
maganisum (Mg+2) =100mg/L as CaCO3
(HCO3- =150mg/L as CaCO3
CO2 =22mg/L as CaCO3
use split treatment
Lime dosage = The carbon dioxide as CaCO3 + The total hardness + Magnesium concentration
= 22 + 80+ 100 = 202 mg/L
Soda ash dose = (Non carbonate hardness as CaCO3 * Calcium as carbonate) / Mg = 150*200/100 = 300mg/L
density of water in grams/m3 = 998000 grams/m3
Mass of water = 998000(grams/m3) * 0.5(m3/s) = 499000 grams/s
We need 502grams of lime and soda ash dose of treating the water. So 3$ of lime and soda ash dose needed for treating the water.
