Problem

A pilot column breakthrough test has been performed using the phenolic wastewater in Example
12.1. Pertinent design data are inside diameter = 0.095 m, length = 1.04 m, mass of carbon =
2.98 kg, liquid flowrate = 17.42 ℓ/hr, unit liquid flowrate = 0.679 ℓ/s-m2, and packed carbon
density = 401 gm/ℓ. The breakthrough data are given in Table 1. Determine:

a. The liquid flowrate in bed volumes per hour and the volume of liquid treated per unit mass of
carbon — in other words, the ℓ/kg at an allowable breakthrough of 35 mg/ℓ toc.

b. The kinetic constants 1 in ℓ/s-kg and 0 in kg/kg.
