A new analytical method to detect pollutants (D) in water is being tested. This new method of chemical analysis is important because, if adopted, it could be used to detect three different contaminants-organic pollutants (O), volatile solvents (V), and chlorinated compounds (C)-instead of having to use a single test for each pollutant. The makers of the test claim that it can detect high levels of organic pollutants with 99.7% accuracy, volatile solvents with 99.95% accuracy, and chlorinated components with 89.7% accuracy. If a pollutant is not present, the test does not signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 60% of them are contaminated with organic pollutants, 27% with volatile solvents, and 13% with traces of chlorinated compounds. A test sample is selected randomly. (a) What is the probability that the test will signal? (b) If the test signals, what is the probability that chlorinated compounds are present?

An activated sludge plant (CSTR w/ recycle) has the following characteristics: Influent substrate concentration, So = 400 mg/L BODL (all soluble); influent VSS, Xyº = 0; effluent 3 substrate concentration, S = 10 mg/L BODL; flow rate, Q = 1000 m³/day; aeration basin 3 volume, V = 200 m³; reactor MLVSS, Xv = 4,280 mg/L; average, steady-state oxygen uptake rate, Oxygen uptake rate (OUR) = 0.3 mg 02/L-min. The biomass viability (i.e., v = Xa/Xv) was measured using the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) technique and found equal to 0.926. An aliquot of mixed liquor was placed in a small reactor, aerated without any exogenous substrate addition (i.e., starvation conditions) and it's OUR was measured over time resulting in the following data: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Time (days) OUR (mg 02/L-min) 0.3 0.274 0.243| 0.222 0.203 0.182 6 8 10 0.165 0.135 0.110 By use of the above data, the microorganism decay coefficient (b, day can be estimated if you assume that a constant relationship exists between Xa and OUR,…
Soil organic matter (SOM) samples have charge that is pH-dependent, and measurements for the cation-exchange capacities (CECS) of soil organic matter average around 150 cmol(+)/kg SOM at neutral pH. Meanwhile, smectite clay minerals have CECS that average approximately 100 cmol(+)/kg clay. Since these two phases are the dominant contributors to soil CEC, we can use SOM content and smectite content (if we can measure it) to estimate total soil CEC. What would be your estimate for the total CEC (in cmol(+)/kg soil, to the nearest 0.1 cmol(+)/kg soil) of a soil that contained 3.28 % SOM and 1.0 % smectite clay by weight?
