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.

For a BOD analysis, 30 ml of waste with a DO of zero mg/L, is mixed with 270 ml of dilution water with a DO of 9 mg/L. The sample is then put in an incubator. The final DO is measured after 7 d. The final DO is measured at 3.0 mg/L. However, it is discovered that the incubator was set at 30°C. Assume a k1 of 0.2 d–1 (base e) at 20°C and θ = 1.05. Determine the 5 d, 20°C BOD of the sample
A mixture consisting of 30 mL of waste and 270 mL of seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 8.55 mg/L; after five days, it has a final DO of 2.40 mg/L. Another bottle containing just the seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 8.75 mg/L and a final DO of 8.53 mg/L. Find the five-day BOD of the waste.
A BOD test is run using 100 ml of treated waste H20 mixed with 200ml of pure water. The initial DO of the mixture is 9.0 mg/ml. After 5 days, Do id 4.0 mg/ml. What is the 5-day BOD of the waste water?

1. A mixture consisting of 30 mL of waste and 270 mL of seeded dilution water has an initial Do of 8.55 mg/L; after 5 days, it has a final DO of 2.40 mg/L. Another bottle containing just the seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 8.75 mg/L and a final DO of 8.53 mg/L. Find the 5-days BOD of the waste.
Q) How can you determine chloride content in a waste water sample? Subject: environmental engineering lab
A BOD analysis was begun on Monday. Fifteen ml of waste with a DO of zero was mixed with 270 mL of dilution water with a DO of 9 mg/L. The sample was then put in the incubator. Since the 5th day fell on a long weekend (Friday) and lab personnel do not work on Saturday, the final DO did not get measured until Monday, the eighth day. The final DO was measured at 2.8 mg/L. However, it was discovered that the incubator was mistakenly set at 32 ºC. Assume k is 0.15 day-1 at 20 ºC and θ= 1.05. Determine the 5-day 20 ºC BOD of the sample. Also, what is the ultimate CBOD at 32 ºC and 20 ºC; Will it vary?
A PFR is designed to treat incoming waste water containing 7.33 mM of H2S at a flow rate of 100 liters/min. The observed removal rate constant is 0.003 L/mg/hr. 90% removal is required. What is the order of the observed reaction rate? What is the necessary retention time? What is the necessay reaction volume in m3?
A municipal wastewater sample is brought to the laboratory to determine the BOD5. The DO in the wastewater sample is 0.2 mg/L. The sample is diluted with distilled water (DO =9.0 mg/L) with a dilution factor of 25. The volume of the BOD bottle is 300 ml. The bottle is incubated for 5 days at 20℃. The DO is measured at 5 days as 3,6 mg/L. Determine the BOD5 of the sample.
The BODs of a domestic wastewater sample is considered to be about 200 mg/l and the DO in it is measured as 0 mg/L. The laboratory staff are preparing to set up a BOD test to determine the actual BOD of the sample. The DO of the dilution water was measured to be 9 mg/I. Which of the following volume ratios of (total volume of BOD bottle = 300 mL) / (volume of wastewater sample) would be most appropriate to use in setting up the BOD bottle for incubation? Select one among the following: (a) 20/1; (b) 50/1; (c) 100/1; (d) 500/1. Justify your selection
A BOD analysis was performed on a municipal wastewater. The 300 mL test bottle was filled with 2.0% wastewater mixed with dillution water, The initial dissolved oxygen (DO) was 8.3 mg/L. The sample is then put in a incubator and set at 20°C. Since the 5th day falls on public holiday, the final DO does not get measured until the 7th day. The final DO is measured at 4.5 mg/L. Assuming k30 (base e) is 0.2/day, determine the BOD3 @ 20°C BOD5 @ 30°C
