Question 68 – Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) could be calculated using the formula BOD = (DOi - DOf) (Vb / Vs)
where Vb = Volume of bottle in ml,
Vs = Volume of sample in ml,
DOi = Initial dissolved oxygen in mg / L,
DOf = Final dissolved oxygen in mg / L.
(a) By using a bottle of Vb = 300 ml with sample Vs = 30 ml, find the BOD if DOi = 8.8 mg / L and DOf = 5.9 mg / L.
(b) By using a bottle Vb = 600 mL with sample Vs = 100 mL, find the BOD if DOi = 8.8 mg / L and DOf = 4.2 mg / L.
(c) Find the average BOD = [ Answer of (a) Answer of (b) ] / 2.
(d) If the BOD-5 test for (a) - (c) is run on a secondary effluent using a nitrification inhibitor, find the nitrogenous BOD (NBOD) = TBOD - CBOD. Let TBOD = 45 mg / L and CBOD = Answer of (c).
Answer Posted / kang chuen tat (malaysia - pen
Answer 68 – (a) BOD = (8.8 - 5.9) (300 / 30) = 29 mg / L.
(b) BOD = (8.8 - 4.2) (600 / 100) = 27.6 mg / L.
(c) BOD = (29 27.6) / 2 = 28.3 mg / L.
(d) NBOD = 45 - 28.3 = 16.7 mg / L.

DEAR SIR, IS IT ANY BARC TECHNICAL OR INTERVIEW QUESTION BOOK IN CHEMICAL ENGG LAST YEARS IN MARKET? ALSO GIVE THE PATTERN HOW TO PREPARE AND WHAT TYPE OF QUESTION THEY ASKED?
X is a solid having a white colour at room temperature. It has a density about 2g/cc. Although it has melting point near 325 degree Celsius, its properties start degrading above 260 degree Celsius. The coefficient of friction is very low about 0.1. It has very good dielectric properties especially at higher radio frequencies. It has a very high bulk resistivity. It is chemically inert. It is also resistant to van der Waals force. It is hydrophobic as well as lipophobic. Creep or ‘Cold Flow’ has been observed in X.
