4 General Questions for Water, Soil & Geochemists What is the chemical composition of natural waters? Will it change with time, location? What happens to chemical species when they enter new aquatic or non-aquatic environments? How does transport affect the chemistry? What types of reactions occur in managed natural systems? What do we need to do to make it work better? David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 4

5 Examples for Water Treatment How can we use chemistry to stop corrosion and dissolution of lead? What with the ph, alkalinity and hardness be after mixing two different types of water e.g., groundwater and surface water How do we get the best performance from chemical precipitation processes e.g., coagulation, softening What can we do to optimize oxidation treatments e.g., removal of Mn, trace organic constituents David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 5

6 Example 1: Lead and Water Lead is a neural toxin Especially serious in children EPA: Pb & Cur Rule Published in 1991 The treatment technique for the rule requires systems to monitor drinking water at customer taps. If lead concentrations exceed an action level of 15 ppb or copper concentrations exceed an action level of 1.3 ppm in more than 10% of customer taps sampled (i.e., 90%ile), the system must undertake a number of additional actions to control corrosion. David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 6

7 Flint Michigan Crisis Timeline April 2014: the city stopped getting its water from Detroit as a cost-saving measure and began instead drawing water from the Flint River. High blood lead levels noted in children Water led levels were above standard Oct 16, 2015: Flint switches back to Detroit Water Sources EPA website: VPI website: 12/22/2015 Rachel Maddow video: David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 7

24 PFOA Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8 and perfluorooctanoate, is a synthetic compound. One industrial application is as a surfactant in the production of fluoropolymers. It has been used in the manufacture of such prominent consumer goods as polytetrafluoroethylene (commercially known as Teflon). PFOA has been manufactured since the 1940s in industrial quantities. PFOA persists indefinitely in the environment. It is an animan carcinogen. PFOA has been detected in the blood of more than 98% of the general US population in the low and sub-ppb range, and levels are higher in chemical plant employees and surrounding subpopulations. How general populations are exposed to PFOA is not completely understood. PFOA has been detected in industrial waste, stain resistant carpets, carpet cleaning liquids, home dust, microwave popcorn bags, water, food, some cookware and PTFE such as Teflon.

35 Gas samples (compressible) 0.056mg Ozone 3 1m air Could be converted to a ppm m basis But this would change as we compress the air sample Could also be converted to a ppm v basis Independent of degree of compression But now we need to convert mass of ozone to volume of ozone David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 35

36 Ideal Gas Law By definition: mass( g) n GFW An ideal gas Will occupy a certain fixed volume as determined by: PV V nrt RT P mass( g) GFW regardless of the nature of the gas Where: Ppressure Vvolume nnumber of moles Ttemp Runiversal gas constant L-atm/mole-ºK GFWgram formula weight n RT P 22.4 L at 1 atm, ºK David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 36

37 Convert mass to moles Now we know that ozone s formula is O 3 Which means it contains 3 oxygen atoms Therefore the GFW 3x atomic weight of oxygen in grams or 48 g/mole 0.056mg Ozone 3 1m air nmass(g)/gfw n0.056x10-3 g/(48g/mole) n x10-3 moles x10 1m 3 3 moles air Ozone David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 37

39 Mole & volume fractions Based on the ideal gas law: The volume fraction (ratio of a component gas volume to the total volume) is the same as the mole fraction of that component n Therefore: Defined as: Volume fraction V V i total And since the fraction of the total is one-millionth of the number of ppm: 6 Vi ni 10 ppm v V n David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 39 n i total total total V V i total n n i RT P RT P total Defined as: mole fraction

40 Partial pressures Based on the ideal gas law: PV And defining the partial pressure (P i ) as the pressure a component gas (i) would exert if all of the other component gases were removed. P nrt n V RT We can write: P i n V i total RT and P total n V total total RT Which leads to: And: P i P total P n n P i total i total n n P i total total10 6 ppm v David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 40

41 Earth s Atmosphere Divide by 100 and you get the partial pressure for a total pressure of 1 atm. David Reckhow CEE 680 #1 41
