Water Chemistry
Question Description
Problem-2 .The discharge of chromate ions (CrO42-) to sewers or natural waters is of concern because of both its ecological impacts and its effects on human health if the receiving water is later used as a drinking water source. One way in which chromate can be removed from solution is by its reaction with ferrous ions (Fe2+) to form a mixture of chromic hydroxide and ferric hydroxide solids [Cr(OH)3(s) and Fe(OH)3(s), respectively], which can then be filtered out of the water. The overall reaction can be represented as:
CrO42– + 3 Fe2+ + 8 H2OCr(OH)3(s) + 3 Fe(OH)3(s) + 4 H+
- How much particulate matter would be generated daily by this process at a facility that treats 60 m3/h of a waste stream containing 4.0 mg/L Cr, if the treatment reduces the Cr concentration enough to meet a discharge limit of 0.1 mg/L?
