The conversion of ferrous ions to ferric ions by dissolved oxygen in the presence of bacteria is a first order reaction with respect to ferrous ions in the concentration range of 0.1 – 0.6 mol L-1 . The rate of oxidation of 0.6 mol L-1 ferrous ions is 0.25 mol L-1 min-1 . Calculate the following: (a) First order rate constant for the oxidation reaction. (b) Time taken for 70% conversion of ferrous ions at an initial concentration of 0.6 mol L -1 in a plug flow (tubular) reactor. (c) Volume of a mixed flow reactor (CSTR) that would be required for 70% conversion of 0.6 mol L-1 ferrous ion feed stream of 8 kmol h-1 . (a) A second reactor of same volume was used in series with the reactor in part (b). Calculate the percentage of unreacted ferrous ions in the exit stream of the second reactor.

A mine produces a wastewater discharge of 701 m^3/d containing 11,945 mg/L of total dissolved solids (TDS). This discharge is released into a freshwater stream with a flow of 16,867 m^3/d containing 222 mg/L TDS. The water discharge permit states that the water downstream from the discharge must not exceed a TDS concentration of 399 mg/L. The mine plans to use an ion exchange reactor to regulate the TDS. This technology removes TDS while allowing clean water to pass through,...
