A BOD test is run using 100mL of treated wastewater. The initial DO of the mixture after diluting the waste sample with distilled water is 9.0mg/L. After 5-day incubation, the DO measured was 4.0mg/L. After a long period of time, the DO is 2.0mg/L and no longer seems to be decreasing. Assume that nitrification has been inhibited. Determine the following: a)BOD5 & BODu of the waste sample b) BOD5 of the mixture and c) k THANK YOU
3. A hard drive manufacturer uses Nickel to plate its disks and then polishes them, resulting in a concentration of 50 mg/l in their 50,000 gallons per day wastewater stream. Their industrial permit standard for Ni discharge into the sewer system and treatment plant is limited to 0.2 Ibs./day. What percentage of the mass of Nickel must the onsite treatment system remove to be in compliance with the discharge standard? Use the following formula to determine the daily Nickel loading of the manufacturing system: Loading (Ibs/day) = Conversion Factor (8. Flow(MGD)
Jar testing was performed using alum on a raw drinking-water source that contained an initial turbidity of 20 NTU and an alkalinity of 35 mg/L as CaCO3. The optimum coagulant (alum: Al2(SO4)3•14H20) dosage was determined as 18 mg/L with a final turbidity of 0.25 NTU. Determine the quantity of alkalinity consumed as mg CaCO3 (1 significant figure)

Working for the local wastewater treatment plant, you are asked by the labtechnician to help her set up BOD5 tests. The issue here is what dilution to use to get the BOD5 test to give an acceptable result. Of course, you do not know the actual BOD5 value, but you are able to determine from past tests that the total ultimate BOD (NBOD + L0) of the wastewater is546 mg/L and the organic Nitrogen (TKN) concentration of the wastewater is 32 mg N/L. You also know that the first order rate constant for the BOD test is 0.25 day-1. When you ask, the technician tells you that the normal DO concentration at the start of the test is 8.3 mg/L.Based on all this information, tell the lab technician which of the following wastewater sample volumes added to a standard BOD test bottle (300 mL) is going to produce an acceptable final result: 1 mL/3 mL/9 mL/30 mL/90 mL NOTE: Acceptable BOD test should comply with the two essential criteria: DOfinal ≥ 2 mg/L and DOinitial – DOfinal ≥ 2 mg/L.

A standard BOD test is run using seeded dilution water. The blank bottle containing the seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 9.2 mg/L and a final DO of 8.2 mg/L. The waste sample is mixed with seeded dilution water at a 1:25 ratio. It has an initial DO of 9.0 mg/L and a final DO of 2.0 mg/L. Calculate the BOD5.
