The recommended threshold limit value (TLV-ACGIH) air concentration for occupational exposure to water-insoluble hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) is 0.01 mg/m3. This concentration is based on an assumption that the individual is generally healthy and is exposed for 8 hours per day over a working lifetime (that is from age 18 to 65 years). Assuming a body weight of 78 kg and an inhalation rate of 0.63 m3/h over the working life of the individual, a. What is the lifetime (75 y) CDI? b. Estimate the low-dose cancer risk from occupational inhalation exposure to hexavalent chromium Cr(VI).

Problem 5. The aquifer source water used by the town of Pandarwin, IL contains 32 mg/L Fe2+ and 97 µg/L arsenic, predominantly in the form of As(III). To meet the new MCL of 10 µg/L the local water utility is considering several strategies. One strategy involves adding hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to the water. Arsenic removal occurs indirectly as a byproduct of the reaction between Fe2+ and H2O2. When H2O2 reacts with Fe2+, hydroxyl radical intermediates (•OH) are produced which can rapidly oxidize As(III) to As(V). The As(V) can then be removed by coprecipitation with and adsorption onto Fe(OH)3(s) precipitates during sand filtration. The source water is well buffered at pH 8.0 by dissolved carbonate species.

(a) Write the balanced redox reaction between Fe2+ and H2O2. Fe2+ is converted to Fe(OH)3(s) and H2O2 is converted to H2O.

(b) The treatment plant flow rate is 107 L/day. If we assume that the reaction from part (a) goes to completion as written, calculate the mass of H2O2 that will be required each day to consume all the dissolved Fe2+ in the source water entering the plant.

(c) If we assume that each H2O2 molecule generates a single ⋅OH intermediate when it reacts with Fe2+, estimate the fraction of ⋅OH intermediates that will be used to convert As(III) to As(V) in the source water. Assume that each As(III) molecule reacts with only a single ⋅OH intermediate

Assume the speed and density at a freeway location follows a linear relationship.You observe traffic flow rate of 2250 vehicles/hour at 45 mph and 3000 vehicles/hour at 30 mph. What are the jam density, free flow speed (max speed), and capacity of this freeway location? How about the density and speed (i.e., the critical density and the critical speed) at the capacity?

A falling head permeability test was performed on a re-moulded silty clay soil sample 150 mm in diameter and 250 mm in length. The diameter of the standpipe was 12.7 mm. At the start of the test, the height of the water in the standpipe measured 2,236 mm above the constant water level where the soil sample was immersed in. After 7 hours and 45 minutes, the height of the water in the standpipe was measured at 1971 mm. Determine: (i) the coefficient of permeability of the soil (in m/sec), and (ii) the estimated height of the water in the standpipe after a further 12 hours of running this test. (iii) the total time (from the start of the test in days, hours, minutes and seconds) it will take for the water level in the standpipe to reach a height of 600 mm.
