b. What will be the purity of material A using that sequence?
c. What will be the efficiency of separation for the entire process train with regard to material A using the Worrell-Stesed equation?

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
