Q.7

Consider the following statements regarding composting.

I.Thermophilic bacteria helps in decomposition at all temperature ranges.

II.Composting is considered as an aerobic process.

III.C/N ratio is a controlling parameter for optimum bacterial activity.

Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?

I and II only

II only

II and III only

All of the above

Solution

Carbon is used for food and nitrogen is used for building cell structure that’s why C/N ratio is important.

Due to regular turning up of refuse, sufficient supply of oxygen is their, that’s why composting is considered as aerobic process.

Q.8

The minimum flow in river is 50 m3/s which has a dissolved oxygen (DO) content of 7.0 mg/l. It receives a waste water discharge of 5 m3/s with ultimate BOD
of 250 mg/l and no DO. If the rate constant of deoxygenation and re-aeration are 0.5/day and 1.0/day respectively and velocity of river flow 0.8 m/s. What will
be the distance (in km) downstream from the point of waste water discharge, where minimum DO occurs? {Saturation DO = 9 mg/l}

34 km

40 km

25 km

48 km

Solution

Critical time at which DO is minimum,

Critical time,

KR = 1.0/day

KD = 0.5/day

Lo = ultimate BOD of mix =

Do = initial oxygen deficit = Saturation DO – DO of mix

tc = 0.495 days

Distance in km = 0.8 m/s × 0.495 days

36 g of CO2 and 24 g of CH4 are produced from the decomposition of municipal solid waste with a formula weight of 180 g. The average per capita green
house gas production in a city of 1.5 million people with a MSW production rate of 520 ton/day will be _____ grams.

Solution

Total green house gases produced by 180 g of msw

= 36 g of co2 + 24g of CH4 = 60 g

520 ton of msw will produce green house gases
