A chemical company started producing a new chemical which produces cyanuric fluoride (C3N3F3) and diazomethane (CH2N2) as waste products. The process waste stream has a concentration of 200 mg/L cyanuric fluoride and 200 mg/L diazomethane. The flow rate of the waste stream is 1000 L/min. The effluent concentration limit is 5 micrograms/L for both of the waste products. Cyanuric fluoride undergoes a first-order decay at the rate of 0.5 min^(-1), while diazomethane undergoes a second-order decay at the rate of 0.5 L*mg^(-1)*min^(-1). The plant was debating between using a single-stream CMFR or PFR to treat the waste stream. Calculate the required volume for the CMFR and PFR to reach the effluent standards for both of those wastes.

You are the general manager of a regional chemical company. In the course of producing your bulk chemicals, large amounts of particles and smoke are emitted through your plant’s smokestack. The level of pollutants is below current EPA regulations, and you are violating no laws, but neighborhood groups are complaining about minor health problems caused by the smoke. After investigating numerous alternatives, you find the most effective solution would be to install a “scrubber” system which will remove 90% of...
