INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT
MATRIC NO : DF150065
A wastewater from a factory having pH=10 contains KOH only. Find out the total quantity of
KOH per day if the waste water discharge is 80 m3/day .
Solution :
As we know, pH + pOH = 14
Hence, pOH = 14 pH
= 14 10
=4
= 10-4 g/litre
= 56 grams
= 80 x 103 litres/day
= 4480 g/day
BOD
200 mL of Genesee river water was collected from just below the brewery. 2 mL of river water
diluted to 1 L, aerated and seeded. The dissolved oxygen content was 7.8 mg/L initially. After
5 days, the dissolved oxygen content had dropped to 5.9 mg/L. After 20 days, the dissolved
oxygen content had dropped to 5.3 mg/L. What is the ultimate BOD?

Given the data below, calculate the lime dose required, in mg/L.
1. To calculate the total alkalinity required, we must first calculate the alkalinity
required to react with 54 mg/L aluminium :

(0.45)(54) =X
0.45 / 16.3 /

HARDNESS
Determine the total hardness as CaCO3 of a sample of water that has a calcium content of 28
mg/L and a magnesium content of 9 mg/L.
