Q: How to calculate the amount of citric acid to neutralise the pH within wastewater?

Daniel BridgesWe have an effluent tank, with a consent to discharge at between 5.5 - 11 pH, the tank holds 100000 liters of dirty water. When the pH reaches 10.5 we add citric acid to bring the pH down. How many liters of citric acid with a pH of 2.2 should we add to the system to bring the pH down to around ...

Hey, @Mart don't you think this is HW?

@MAFIA36790 It's pretty clearly someone in a production environment. They probably don't have a lot of spare time to research the chemistry in detail, and aren't trying to learn chem, either. It's a practical problem they're facing, and they're coming to us as a repository of expertise. I would leave open & answer, as was done.
