A sample of water is to be analyzed for solids content. Ten liters of water are passed through a filter (initial weight of filter is 15 grams). After drying at 105 C, the filter plus residual weighs 43 grams. Another 10 liters of sample of the same water is evaporated, without filtering, yielding a residual mass of 40 grams. The result of the analysis is calculated as follows: a. Total Solids of this water is--- b. Suspended Solids is c. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is- -Grams per liter. -Grams per liter. -Grams per liter. Please Note: The purpose of this problem is for you to understand the difference between Total Solids, Suspended Solids and Total Dissolved Solids. Also pay attention that the units as the sample is 10 liters and the problem is asking you to calculate the values per liter.

Problem 4In water and wastewater treatment processes a filtration device may be used to remove water from the sludgeformed by a precipitation reaction. The initial concentration of sludge from a softening reaction is 20,000 mg/Land the volume of sludge is 100 m3. After filtration the sludge solids concentration is 350,000 mg/L. Assume thatthe sludge does not change density during filtration, and there is no accumulation of sludge in the filtrationdevice. Using the mass balance method, determine the volume of sludge after filtration.
The following data was obtained from a test program designed to evaluate a new diffused-air aeration system. Using these data, determine the value of KLa at 20oC and the equilibrium dissolved-oxygen concentration in the test tank. The test program was conducted using tap water at a temperature of 24oC.

A wastewater treatment plant discharges 20,000 m3/d of treated sewage into a river. The effluent’s BOD is 25.0 mg/L. The river’s flow and velocity are 5,500 m3/d and 23 km/hr, respectively. At the point of the effluent discharge, the river’s BOD and DO are 2 mg/L and 6 mg/L, respectively. The river’s water temperature is 25 °C. The deoxygenation coefficient, kd, was determined to be 0.45 day-1, and the reaeration coefficient, kr, is 0.52 day-1. Apply the plug flow model assumptions and calculate the the oxygen deficit at the point of the effluent discharge, the BOD at the point of the effluent discharge, the critical time and distance and minimum DO level.
