    This document contains 5 problems related to water quality and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Problem 1 involves calculating the theoretical carbonaceous BOD, ultimate nitrogenous BOD, and total theoretical BOD for a solution containing glycine. Problem 2 involves calculating the 5-day BOD, ultimate carbonaceous BOD, remaining BOD after 5 days, and reaction rate constant for a BOD test on treated wastewater. Problem 3 asks whether the dissolved oxygen level will drop below the state standard of 3 mg/L after a town discharges wastewater into a river 6 km upstream of another town, given flow rates and water quality parameters. Problems 4 and 5 build

    Assignment #3: Water Quality


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Problem 1:
    For a solution containing 200 mg of glycine 𝐶𝐻2 (𝑁𝐻2 )𝐶𝑂𝑂𝐻 whose oxidation can be

    represented as:

    2𝐶𝐻2 (𝑁𝐻2 )𝐶𝑂𝑂𝐻 + 3𝑂2 → 4𝐶𝑂2 + 2𝐻2 𝑂 + 2𝑁𝐻3


    𝑁𝐻3 + 2𝑂2 → 𝑁𝑂3− + 𝐻 + + 𝐻2 𝑂
    FIND:
    a) The theoretical CBOD
    b) The ultimate NBOD
    c) The total theoretical BOD.

    Problem 2:
    A BOD test is run using 100 mL of treated wastewater mixed with 200 mL of pure water. The

    initial DO of the mix is 9.0 mg/L. After 5 days, the DO is 4.0 mg/L. After a long period of time,

    the DO is 2.0 mg/L and it no longer seems to be dropping. Assume that nitrification has been

    inhibited so that the only BOD being measured is carbonaceous.

    a) What is the 5-day BOD of the wastewater (mg/L)?

    b) Assuming no nitrification effects, estimate the ultimate carbonaceous BOD (mg/L).

    c) What is the remaining BOD after 5 days (mg/L)?

    d) Estimate the reaction rate constant, kBOD (d-1 )


    Problem 3:
    Town A wants to discharge wastewater into a river 6 km upstream of town B. The state standard

    level for dissolved oxygen is 3mg/L. Other data pertinent are given in the following table:

    Parameter Town A discharge River


    Flow (m3/s) 0.280 0.877
    Ultimate BOD at 28oC (mg/L) 8 10
    DO (mg/L) 1 6
    Kd at 28oC (day-1) NA 0.46
    Kr at 28oC (day-1) NA 0.85
    Velocity (m/s) NA 0.65
    Temperature 28oC 28oC
    DOsat at 28oC 7.92 mg/L 7.92 mg/L
    Draw a sketch describing the problem and answer the following question. Will the dissolved

    oxygen level after mixing at town A be reduced below the state standard?

    Problem 4:
    For problem 3, what will be the BOD after mixing and find the deficit along with the DO at town
    B:

    Problem 5:
    The oxygen sag caused by a cannery reaches a minimum do equal to 3.0 mg/l. upstream from the

    cannery, the river DO is saturated at 10.0 mg/L, and it has no BOD of its own. Just downstream

    from the discharge point, the DO is still essentially saturated (i. e., consider the initial oxygen

    deficit to be zero so the downstream deficit is propositional to the initial bod). by what percentage

    should the BOD of the cannery waste be reduced to assume a healthy stream with at least 5.0

    mg/L DO everywhere?
