Problem 1. (10 pts) You are hired as an environmental engineer to propose an alternative for stromwater treatment contaminated with benzene. You proposed to use activated carbon to treat the storm stream contaminated with 3.5 mg/L of benzene. If only 25 kg of activated carbon is available, how many liters of stormwater can be treated to achieve an equilibrium efluent concentration of 1.2 mg/L? Your previous experiments showed that Freundlich isotherm coefficients for the activated carbon are Kp -0.05 L/kg and n=2.1 for concentrations in L
