A metal recovery unit (MRU) of intake capacity 5000 kg/h treats a liquid product from a plant and recovers 90% of the metal in pure form. The unrecovered metal and its associated liquid are sent to a disposal unit along with the untreated product from the plant (See figure below). Find the flow rate (\(m_6\)) and the weight fraction of the metal (\(w_6\)). The liquid product flow rate is 7500 kg/h of composition 0.1 (wt fraction). Assume steady state.

• \(m_6=7500\) kg/h, \(w_6=0.0\)

A reverse osmosis unit treats feed water \((F)\) containing fluoride and its output consists of a permeate stream \((P)\) and a reject stream \((R)\). Let \(C_F, C_P\), and \(C_R\) denote the fluoride concentrations in the feed, permeate, and reject streams, respectively. Under steady state conditions, the volumetric flow rate of the reject is 60% of the volumetric flow rate of the inlet stream, and \(C_F = 2\) mg/L and \(C_P = 0.1\) mg/L.

(i) The value of \(C_R\) in mg/L, up to one digit after the decimal point, is ____________

{#1}

(ii) A fraction \(f\) of the feed is bypassed and mixed with the permeate to obtain treated water having a fluoride concentration of 1 mg/L. Here also the flow rate of the reject stream is 60% of the flow rate entering the reverse osmosis unit (after the bypass). The value of \(f\), up to 2 digits after the decimal point, is ____________
