Methanol (CH3OH) can be degraded as shown in the reaction below. Answer the following questions if methanol is present in a water at a concentration of 260 mg/L and the water flowrate is 1.7 million gallons per day (mgd). CH;OH + 1.5 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O What amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) will be produced each day (in lbs and kg)? b. How much oxygen (O2) will need to be supplied to degrade the methanol (in mg/L and lbs/day) if the oxygen transfer process is 48% efficient? а.
