MIB (Methylisoborneol) is one of the by-products of algae and is a representative trace pollutant that causes taste and smell of water. The isothermal adsorption equation of 2-MIB applied with activated carbon in water without organic matter was experimentally determined as follows.
q = 1.48C^(0.65)

Where q is ng 2-MIB / g activated carbon and C is the concentration of g / L 2-MIB (g / L).
(n is 10 ^ -9)

A. Calculate the amount of activated carbon (mg / L) required to reduce the concentration of 2-MIB to 5 μg / L. It is assumed that the concentration of 2-MIB in water without organic matter is 50 g / L.
B. The activated carbon adsorption column will be designed with a three-year operating period. If the density of activated carbon is 540 kg / m3 and the design flow rate per column effective cross-section is 10 m / hr, find the depth of activated carbon in the empty bed contact time (EBCT) and column. Here, it is assumed that there is no competitive adsorption that can interfere with the transfer of other organic substances
