Calculating amount of H3PO4 to reduce pH of wastewater
Wastewater flow is 1.5 million gallons per day.
The pH of the incoming wastewater is 5.2
The desire is to use 30% H3PO4 to reduce the pH of the wastewater to pH 2.5.
How would I calculate the amount of 30% H3PO4 needed to accomplish this pH change for the 1.5 MGD wastewater flow???
Please show me your calculations.
The method of Calculating amount of H3PO4 to reduce pH of wastewater is shown in detail.
