BOD: Biochemical Oxygen Demand
BOD5 is the total amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms during
the first five days of biodegradation
BOD5 = (DOi – Dof)/(P) this is the five-day BOD of a diluted sample
Where DOi = the initial dissolved oxygen (DO) of the diluted wastewater
DOf = the final DO of the diluted wastewater, 5 days later
P = the dilution fraction = (volume of
wastewater)/(volume of wastewater plus dilution water)
A standard BOD bottle holds 300 mL, so P is just the volume of
wastewater divided by 300 mL
5.53)
A cubic meter of a gravel-and-sand aquifer has been contaminated with 20
L of tetrachloroethylene. If the amount of tetrachloroethylene dissolved
in aquifer water is 20 percent of its aqueous solubility,
a) How much tetrachloroethylene is dissolved?
b) How much remains as undissolved DNAPL mass?
c) If the aquifer has a gradient of 0.001, use porosity and hydraulic
conductivity data for gravel-and-sand aquifers to estimate the average
linear velocity of the groundwater.
d) How long would it take to remove the tetrachloroethylene?
