How to calculate the size of an emergency pool

2010-07-05View Original

Thread Content

Now, we need to design an emergency tank filled with 15% NaOH. The amount of this alkaline solution is sufficient to neutralize 1 ton of liquid chlorine. So, how many cubic meters of 15% alkaline solution are required for neutralization? The cross-section of this pool is a right trapezoid (the upper side is longer than the lower side). What should be the length, width, and height of this pool? Could some expert help calculate this? Thank you. I’ve tried calculating it a few times as well, but my skills are limited and I feel the results aren’t correct.

Calculate the required mass of liquid caustic based on the chemical reaction, and then determine the volume of liquid caustic using a concentration of 15%. The specific description of the pond is not very accurate

I need a more detailed explanation, preferably the steps for how to calculate it. Thank you

Step 1: Calculate the volume of the alkaline solution, based on the chemical reaction equilibrium equation and the law of conservation of mass. Step 2: Plan the volume of the emergency tank; its specific shape can be determined based on the space available for its installation. The main consideration is the volume, so as to have enough alkaline solution available for neutralization purposes.

It is recommended not to use alkali solution tanks; nowadays, alkali circulation absorbers are used for safety reasons. In the event of an accident, negative-pressure ventilation ducts are used to draw chlorine gas into the alkali circulation tower where it can be neutralized, which is convenient, efficient, and safe. If alkali solution is to be used, don’t forget to include the volume of the 1-ton liquid chlorine tank as well; usually, the tank is pushed into the tank area (but who will push it if there’s a leak?) :lol)
