Municipal Solid Waste

  1. The 5-day BOD of a waste water sample is obtained as 190 mg/l (with k = 0.01h–1). The ultimate oxygen demand (mg/l) of the sample will be
    1. 3800
    2. 475
    3. 271
    4. 190
Correct Option: C

BOD5 = BOD4[1 – 10–kD.t]

BOD4 =
BOD5
[1 - 10–kD.t]

kD = 0.434 k = .434 × 0.01 h–1
kDt = .434 × .01 × 5 × 24 = 0.5208
BOD4 =
190
[1 - 10-0.5208]

= 271 mg/l.
