Each week an industry produces 2.0 × 10^3 m3/d of a strong acid waste (pH = 1.5) during a 48 hour production,"Each week an industry produces 2.0 × 10^3 m3/d of a strong acid waste (pH = 1.5) during a 48 hour production cycle (total 4.0 × 10^3 m3/week). The plant engineer would like to discharge the waste into a river that passes near the plant. The river has a 7-­‐day, 10-­‐year flow of 25 × 10^3 m3/d, an alkalinity of 150 mg/L as CaCO3, and a pH of 7.7. If the temperature of the mixture is 25oC, will it be possible to discharge all the waste into the river within a 7-­‐day period if the river pH must be maintained above 7.0?
