(b) 40
(c) 66
(d) 92

(a) Allowable solids content
(b) Sludge volume index
(c) Liquor index
(d) Chlorination limit

Q4. A grit chamber of dimensions 12.0 m × 1.50 m × 0.80 m liquid depth has flow of 720 m³/hr. Its surface loading rate and detention time are respectively
(a) 4000 m³/hr and 1.2 minute
(b) 40000 Lph/m² and 40 minute
(c) 40 m³/hr/m² and 12 minute
(d) 40000 Lph/m² and 1.2 minute

Q5. The presence of which of the following is a reason for temporary hardness of water?
(a) Chlorides
(b) Carbonates
(c) Nitrates
(d) Sulphates

Q6. Consumption of higher concentration of fluorides exceeding 1.5 mg/L may cause:
(a) Arsenicosis
(b) Argyria
(c) Blue baby disease
(d) Fluorosis

SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Looping plume occurs in super adiabatic condition in which Environmental lapse rate is greater than adiabatic lapse rate.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Sludge volume index → Sludge volume index is defined as volume occupied in ml. by 1 gm. Of solid in the mix liquor when allow to settle for 30 min.
▭(SVI=(Settled Sludge volume (ml))/(MLSS (gm) ))

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given,
Dimension of grit chamber = 12 ×1.5 × 0.8 m³
Rate of flow = 720 m²/hr
Surface loading rate =?
Detention time =?

Surface loading rate = (Discharge\/rate of flow)/(Surface area.)
= 720/(12×1.5)
= 40 m³/hr/m²
= 40000 l/hr/m²
Detention time = (Volume of tank)/(rate of flow)
= (12 ×1.5 ×0.8 ×60)/720 = 1.2 min.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Hardness of water is due to the presence of multivalent cation.
Major ion → Ca^(+2),Mg^(+2)
Minor ion → Al^(+3),Sr^(+2),Mn^(+2),Fe^(+2)

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. It concentration of fluorides in drinking water exceeding 1.5 mg/l, then it may cause fluorosis, decolorization and molting of teeth. It the concentration of fluorides is less than 1 mg/l then it may cause dental cavity.
