A groundwater contains the following constituents to be treated by the lime-soda process to the minimum hardness possible has the following characteristics:

CO2 = 62.0 mg/L HCO3- = 250.0 mg/L as CaCO3

Ca2+ = 80.00 mg/L Cl- = 35 mg/L

Mg2+ = 36.6 mg/L SO42- = 96.0 mg/L

Na+ = 23.0 mg/L

The facility is to treat 50 x 106 L/day of water from this source using lime-soda ash to reduce the hardness.

a) Determine the total hardness, carbonate hardness, and non-carbonate hardness in mg/L as CaCO3.

b) Determine the lime and soda-ash dosages for softening (units of kg/day). Assume that the lime is 90 percent CaO by weight and the soda ash is pure sodium carbonate.

Soda and lime are added to glass batch in the form of soda ash (Na2CO3) and limestone (CaCO3). During heating, these two ingredients decompose to give off carbon dioxide (CO2), the resulting products being soda and lime. Compute the weight of soda ash and limestone that must be added to 170 lbm of quartz (SiO2) to yield a glass of composition 78 wt% SiO2, 15 wt% Na2O, and 7 wt% CaO. Part 1 You are to compute the weight (in...

An ice chest at a beach party contains 12 cans of soda at 3.14 °C. Each can of soda has a mass of 0.35 kg and a specific heat capacity of 3800 J/(kg C°). Someone adds a 6.75-kg watermelon at 29.6 °C to the chest. The specific heat capacity of watermelon is nearly the same as that of water. Ignore the specific heat capacity of the chest and determine the final temperature T of the soda and watermelon in degrees...
