Correct Answer - Option 3 : 65 and 35
Concept:
Biochemical oxygen demand (B.O.D):
B.O.D is defined as the amount of oxygen demand by the micro-organisms C5H7NO2 (bacteria) present in it to decompose biodegredable organic matter in waste water under aerobic conditions. B.O.D is measure of strength of waste water.
The amount of organic matter removed (Yt) is calculated by
Yt = Lo (1 - e-Kt)
where,
t = Time in days
Lo = Initial organic matter in waste water at time t = 0
K = B.O.D rate constant depends on temperature
KT = K20 (1.047)T - 20
T = Temperature in degrees
Percentage of organic matter remaining is given by
\({\rm{\% \;exerted}} = \frac{{{\rm{B}}.{\rm{O}}.{{\rm{D}}_{\rm{t}}}}}{{{\rm{B}}.{\rm{O}}.{{\rm{D}}_{\rm{u}}}}} × 100\)
% remaining = 100 - %Exerted
Calculation:
B.O.D remaining after 7 days
B.O.D7 = B.O.Du (1- e-Kt)
B.O.D7 = 20 × (1- e-0.15 × 7)
B.O.D7 = 20 × 0.65 =13
% exerted or removed \( = \frac{{13 × 100}}{{20}} = 65\% \)
B.O.D remaining after 7 days = (100 – 65) = 35%
Mistake point:
K = B.O.D rate constant
Normal log means loge, KT has following relation between the (base e) value and (base 10) value.
KT (base e) = 2.3 × KT (base 10)
