PROBLEM

Problem Statement - See text, page 140
Solution
1.
For organic carbon, for example
a.
For BOD
i.
Plan to analyze samples immediately; if samples must be held, store
at low temperature (4°C)
ii. In general, never use preservatives for BOD samples. If a
preservative must be used, it should be added to the bottle first
b.
For COD
i.
Use glass bottles for sample collection

PROBLEM

Problem Statement - See text, page 140
Instructors Note: This problem should be assigned when BOD problems (2-20
through 2-36) are assigned.
Solution
1.
The range of expected BOD is 130 to 430 mg/L based on a mean value of
280 mg/L ± 150 mg/L.
2.
From Table 2-16, a 2 and 1 percent mixture would be suitable for BOD
values varying from 100-350 and 200-700 mg/L. Both percent mixtures
should be used.
3.
To be able to do some statistical analysis (e.g., student-t statistics) on the
laboratory results, a minimum of 3 samples would be needed at each
percentage mixture. To account for a possible outlier, the minimum number
of samples analyzed at each dilution should be 4.
4.
Because the size of the sample is so small, the amount of unseeded or
seeded dilution would be equal to the number of tests times 300 plus a 10
percent excess or a minimum of 100 mL.
