    This document contains a tutorial on industrial pollution abatement with sample questions and their answers. It addresses topics like [1] threshold odor number (TON), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), alkalinity, solids analysis, and the most probable number (MPN) technique for estimating coliform bacteria. [2] Sample questions calculate values like BOD, alkalinity concentrations, and concentrations of total solids and dissolved solids. [3] Tables provide the MPN index and confidence limits for different positive results when using a five-tube MPN test.

    Tutorial 2

    Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala


    Department of Chemical Engineering
    Industrial Pollution Abatement (UCH-503)

    Course Coordinator: Dr. Haripada Bhunia

    Q1. Find the TON when odor is just barely detected in a flask containing 40
    mL of sample water.
    Ans.: 5

    Q2. The BOD6 of a wastewater is determined to be 400 mg/L at 20oC. The k


    value at 20oC is known to be 0.23 per day. What would be BOD8 value if
    tests were run at 15oC?
    Ans.:547.74 mg/L

    Q3. A sample of water requires 113 mL of distilled water to render the odor barely
    detectable. What is the volume the sample, and what is the TON?
    Ans.: 87 mL, 2.3

    Q4. Ten millilitres sample is pipetted directly into a 300 mL incubation bottle. The
    initial DO of the diluted sample is 9.0 mg/L and its final DO is 2.0 mg/L The
    initial DO of the diluted sample is 9.0 mg/L, but the final DO is 8.0 mg/L. The
    temperature of incubation is 20oC. If the sample is incubated for 5 days, What
    is the BOD5of the sample?
    Ans.:183 mg/L

    Q5. A standard multiple tube fermentation test is run on a sample of water from a
    surface stream. The results of the analysis for the confirmed test are shown
    below.

    Determine the most probable number of coliform organisms.


    Ans.: 26

    Q6. A 200-mL sample of water has an initial pH of 10. Thirty millilitres of 0.02 N
    H2SO4 is required to titrate the sample to pH 4.5. Find total alkalinity as
    CaCO3. If the pH of 8.3 is reached at 11 mL of acid. Determine the
    concentration of OH-, CO32- and HCO3¯.
    Ans.: Total ALK = 150 mg/L as CaCO3, OH-= 5 mg/L, CO32- =100 mg/L and
    HCO3¯= 45 mg/L.

    Q7. The following test results were obtained for a wastewater sample taken at the
    head-works to a wastewater treatment plant. All of the tests were performed
    using a sample size of 50 mL. Determine the concentration of total solids,
    total volatile solids, suspended solids, volatile suspended solids, total
    dissolved solids, and total volatile dissolved solids. The samples used in the
    solids analysis were all either evaporated, dried, or ignited to constant weight.

    Tare mass of evaporating dish = 53.5433 g


    Mass of evaporating dish plus residue after evaporation at 1050C = 53.5794 g
    Mass of evaporating dish plus residue after ignition at 550 0C = 53.5625 g

    Tare mass of Whatman GF/C filter after drying at 1050C = 1.5433 g


    Mass of Whatman GF/C filter and residue after drying at 1050C = 1.5554 g
    Mass of Whatman GF/C filter and residue after ignition at 5500C = 1.5476 g
    Ans.: TS = 722 mg/L; TVS = 338 mg/L, TSS = 242 mg/L; VSS = 156 mg/L,
    TDS = 480 mg/L and 182 mg/L
