Correct option is B
Biological processes in wastewater treatment primarily target the removal of colloidal and soluble organic compounds. These processes involve the use of microorganisms to break down organic matter and other contaminants.
• D. Colloidal: Biological treatment helps in the reduction of colloidal particles as microorganisms consume the organic colloids.
• E. Soluble organic compounds: These are effectively removed by biological treatment as microorganisms break down these compounds into simpler substances.
Information Booster:
• A. Bacteria: Biological processes involve bacteria to treat wastewater but do not primarily aim to remove bacteria.
• B. Suspended solids: These are typically removed through physical processes like sedimentation and filtration rather than biological processes.
• C. Fungi: Similar to bacteria, fungi can be part of the biological process but are not the primary target for removal.
