A.HOMOGENOUS REACTION
.Refers to the reaction which is potential of
carrying out the reaction at any point within
the wastewater by the reactants is the same.
Such reaction may be reversible or irreversible.
B.HETERGENEOUS REACTION
.Is the reaction that occur between one or more
reactant that have identifiable specific sites.
Such reactions involve a number of interrelated
steps and more difficult to analyze and study.

Reaction rates
.Is the speed at which the chemical reaction takes
place, as it depends on concentration of the
reactant in waste water treatment. It has been
observed that the rate of many reactions is
proportional to a small integral power.
R=KCn
Where; - R- Rate of reaction
C- Concentration
n-order of reaction
Cont’
There are three most commonly occurring
reaction rates in wastewater treatment, these
includes;
A. ZERO ORDER REACTION
Zero-order reactions are those in which the

B. ORDER REACTION FIRST
First-order reactions are those in which the
reaction rate is proportional to the concentration
of the reagent or a single reactant concentration.
Assuming a reaction in which the constituent is
being removed, the associated equation is
dc/dt=-Kc
By integrating
lnC=lnCo-kt
C=Co e^-kt
Where;
Cont’
C= concentration of reactant remaining at any
time t.
Co=initial concentration of reactant (at time to).
K=reaction rate constant.
t = time
Graph presentation on first order reaction is
linear and is plotted by ln [c]versus time.

C. SECOND ORDER REACTION
Is the order of reaction in which the rate of
reaction is proportional to the second power of a
single reactant. the order is given by the equation-
dc/dt=kc^2
By integrating the equation; -
1/C-1/Co=kt
Where; -
C= concentration of reactant remaining at any
time t.
Co=initial concentration of reactant (at time to).
K=reaction rate constant.
Cont’
The slope presentation of the second order is liner and is
plotted as a reciprocal of remaining concentration of the
reactant against time.

Where; -
C= concentration of reactant remaining at any time t.
Co= initial concentration of reactant (at time to).

Substrate concetration
Cont’
Enzymes catalyzed reaction in a batch reaction
can be used to predict the reduction of substrate
concentration as expressed below; -
RC= kc/km+c
Where; -
R c = reaction rate
K=maximum reaction rate mg/l
C=substrate concentration mg/l
Km=substrate concentrationat half the
maximum reaction rate mg/l
By intergrading the above equation gives an
equation of detention time, t
