Hey guys,
Just wanted to run this past some people in the know. I plan to make a sort of "rain water processing unit" what consists of a UV sterilizing bulb & carbon filter. I've been reading about using H2O2 to boost the sterilizing by creating hydroxyl radicals (·OH).
Now I'm no chemist but after reading a few head spinning documents it looks like the flow rate, amount of UV & H2O2 is key to making this work.
I'm sure I have the flow and UV right but how the fcuk do you work out how much H2O2 to put in ? I'll type what I THINK is right here and let someone correct me if they would be so kind.
I'm using GT Liquid Oxygen and it has a specific gravity of 1.20 @ 20 degrees celsius. Now by the looks of it (I won't go into details) but the magic number to make this work is around 5 - 10 mg/l of water. So assuming 1ml of LO weighs about 1g it would take around 5 - 10 ml per litre of rain water ?
Seems alot ?
