Explain what is the reaction rate constant for the waste

Reference no: EM13321473

A BOD test is run using 100 mL of treated wastewater mixed with 200 mL of pure water. The initial DO of the mix is 9.0 mg/L. After 5 days, the DO is 4.0 mg/L. After a long period of time, the DO is 2.0 mg/L, and it no longer seems to be dropping. Assume nitrification has been inhibited so the only BOD being measured is carbonaceous. What is the reaction rate constant (k) for this waste (in 1/d)?
