Homework #1
1. Calculate the saturation concentration of the following gazes in water at air temperature
of 20 0C and a pressure of 1 atm if its concentration in air is 30 ppm.
Gaz Concentration in air (Cg)
H2S 20ppm
CO2 370 ppm
CH4 2 ppb
2. Cascade is to be used to remove H2S from ground water. The cascade has 4 steps each
0.40 m. The initial concentration of H2S in the ground water is 0.80 mg/L and its saturation
concentration (CS ) in water under atmospheric pressure is close to 0 mg/L. Take kH2S = 30
% for hydrogen sulfide.
- What is the efficiency of H2S removal after the 4 steps?
- What is the effluent H2S concentration?
3. What is the length of the Cascade aerator in question 2 if its capacity is 25 m3/h per 1 m
length of the step? The total water flow to be treated is 700 m3/h.
What is the total surface area of the cascade if the width to height ratio of the steps is 1:1?
4. A ground water containing 1.5 mg/L of CH4 is to be degasified using multiple tray aerator
with three steps. The groundwater flow rate is 800 L/min. The k value for CH4 is 0.25 and the
hydraulic loading rate of the trays is 300 L/(min.m2)
1. What is the CH4 concentration in the treated effluent?
2. What is the size of the trays if the length to width ratio is 2:1?
