Engineers studied the degradation kinetics of Chemical X in a beaker without inflow and outflow. The initial concentration is 200 mg/L, and it dropped to 50 mg/L in 4 hr. What is the rate constant if degradation follows first-order reaction? What is the half-life of Chemical X under the proposed degradation method?

A Pump & Treat water treatment system at a contaminated site is designed to treat 5 m3/d of ground water in a reactor designed as a well mixed system. The effluent must meet quality standards of 25 mg/L of Iron. The treatment reactor’s 20 m3 volume is believed to be insufficient to achieve the standard. The ground water has an iron concentration of 100 mg/L and the treatment reactor has a kinetic constant of 0.5 d-1. – Confirm that the treatment system will NOT meet the effluent quality standards. – If not modify the design by adding a PFR system (using same treatment process and kinetics), what volume should the PFR addition be?
