BOD tests the amount of oxygen that is used up in a sample due to organic matter (bacteria). The results tell us the quality of organic matter the sample. 5 days is the best time because after five days some of the bacteria changes and becomes nitrifying (feeds off nitrogen instead of oxygen). It's almost always used to test wastewater.
What else can I help you with?
What might you use when you wash in the morning?
You might use a toothbrush. You might use soap. You might use a sponge. You might use a towel. You might use a facecloth. You might use a facewash. You might use water.
What did the Mesopotamians use for the use of plow?
I think they use ox
How do you use brainboost?
You use it.
When to use combiflam?
use it
Which is the correct phrase every after use or after every use?
After every use.
How much is BOD value of drinking water?
There are generally no standards for an absolute BOD5 value of drinking water. However, a sample with a BOD5 between 1 and 2 mg/L indicates a very clean water
URGENT What are the theoretical BOD values for tap-water in Sydney?
BOD5 for tap water are usually 0 ppm,
Why cod higher than bod?
A COD test measures all of the chemicals in a sample which can be oxidized. A BOD5 test measures the total amount of food (or organic carbons) that bacteria can oxidize (in 5 days).A COD test result (that can be performed in about 2 hours) can be correlated to an expected BOD5 result (which takes 5 days).by rislys
What are the relationship between cod chemical oxygen demand and bod5 biological oxygen demand what does the ratio of bod cod or cod bod means?
The relationship between COD and BOD5 is that COD measures the total organic matter in water, while BOD5 measures the amount of oxygen required by microorganisms to biologically degrade organic matter. The ratio of BOD/COD or COD/BOD can indicate the biodegradability of organic matter in water; a high ratio suggests that the organic matter is easily biodegradable, while a low ratio indicates it is less biodegradable.
Is BOD is greater than COD in waste water treatment?
COD is usually greater than BOD5 as it measures the oxidation of all organics, not just the biodegradable ones
Why using phosphate buffer and magnesium sulphate and calcium chloride and ferric chloride for dilution water in BOD5 test?
Phosphate buffer helps maintain the pH of the dilution water, which is crucial for proper bacterial activity in the BOD5 test. Magnesium sulfate, calcium chloride, and ferric chloride provide essential nutrients for the bacteria to thrive and efficiently break down organic matter during the test. These chemicals help create an environment that supports the growth and metabolic activity of the microorganisms responsible for oxygen consumption in the BOD5 test.
What type of pollution do microorganism remove from real wastewater?
Microoganisms move primarily dissolved organic and some small organic particulates which contribute some toxicity but mostly BOD5 levels
What is the Effects of temperature on BOD values?
BOD5 values are calculated at a fixed temperature as described in "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water" Highrer temperatures would lead to higher (wrong) values.
Why removal of residual suspended solids effectively removes residual BOD5?
By using a filtration process similar to that used in water treatment plants, it is possible to remove the residual suspended solids, including the unsettled microorganisms. Removing the microorganisms also reduces the residual BODs. Conventional sand filters identical to those used in water treatment can be used, but they often clog quickly, thus requiring frequent backwashing. To lengthen filter runs and reduce backwashing, it is desirable to have the larger filter grain sizes at the top of the filter. This arrangement allows some of the larger particles of biological floc to be trapped at the surface without plugging the filter. Multimedia filters accomplish this by using low-density coal for the large grain sizes, medium-density sand for intermediate sizes, and highdensity garnet for the smallest size filter grains. Thus, during backwashing, the greater density offsets the smaller diameter so that the coal remains on top, the sand remains in the middle, arid the garnet remains on the bottom.
State the disadvantage of using BOD values?
As much as "Standard Methods" has a reproducible procedure for BOD5 the procedure is dependent on the activities of microorganisms and they can cause variations beyond the control of the lab worker - temperature, O2 diffusion, toxics etc can all affect the outcome. This is especiall true in ding round robin testing where a lab may be getting consistent results but not the same as another lab.
What Pollution comes from more than one source?
Many types of pollution are multisourced. Examples: * Carbon dioxide - fuel combustion, volcanos, respiration * Methane: Gas wells, cattle, anaerobic decomposition * SOx: Fuel combustion, volcanos, sulfur fires * Hydrocarbons (VOCs): Paint, pine forests, automobiles * Heavy metals: Mines, acid rain leaching, dumpsites * BOD5: Farms, sewers, cemeteries
Define oxidation pond?
An oxidation pond is a wastewater treatment system that uses natural processes, such as sunlight, algae, and bacteria, to break down and treat organic matter and other pollutants in the water. These ponds are typically shallow basins with a controlled environment that allows for the decomposition and removal of contaminants through biological and chemical processes.
