QuestionProblem 2: Suppose you want to remove ammonia from wastewater in a continuous flow, completely mixed reactor (CSTR). The removal of ammonia in wastewater follows: NH3\mathrm{NH}_{3} \rightarrow Products. The initial concentration ammonia is 50mg/L50 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{L}. The first order reaction rate is given as 0.1 min10.1 \mathrm{~min}^{-1}. If the desired concentration is 5mg/L5 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{L}, calculate the detention time to achieve the desired results. The flowrate through the 1000 L reactor is 100 L/min100 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min}.

Studdy Solution
The detention time required to reduce the ammonia concentration to 5 mg/L is **90 minutes**.
