6. A tertiary treatment plant treats a municipal secondary effluent and is to employ fixed-bed carbon
adsorption columns. Parallel treatment using two rows of two columns in series (in other words, a
total of four columns) will be used. From batch-type slurry tests it has been found that 0.42 g
COD/g carbon is adsorbed when Ce = Co. Pertinent data are as follows: flow = 5700 m³/d, COD in
feed to carbon columns = 20 mg/L, contact time function based on an empty carbon bed = 30 min,
and unit liquid flow rate= = 4.4 L/s-m². Each column is kept on-line until the entire mass of carbon in
the column is completely exhausted. Determine:
The volume of each column, m³.

e.
The diameter and height of each column, m.
The mass of carbon in each column if the packed density is 400 kg/m³.
The kilograms of carbon exhausted per day if the COD removed is assumed to be 98%.
The on-line time for each of the columns.
