Unit Operations for Wastewater Treatment, Preliminary Treatment

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about unit operations for wastewater treatment, preliminary treatment which aims to remove bulky and large solids, thus preconditioning the effluent prior to the remainder of the treatment. This stage involves several unit operations such as screening, comminution, sedimentation for grit removal, skimming, and flow equalization.

Chlorination Liming Re-carbonation Super-chlorination

Which of the following process is used to remove the colloidal particles from the effluent?

Chemical precipitation Chemical coagulation Ion exchange Adsorption

In which unit operation, gases are released or absorbed in the effluent?

Gas transfer Ion transfer Solute stabilization Solids Transfer

Which form of solute stabilization occurs when effluent passes through limestone?

In which of the following, large impurities are attached with air bubbles to remove it from the wastewater?

Sludge digestion tank Primary sedimentation Vacuum floatation Oxidation pond

Organic contaminants are removed from the wastewater by ____________.

Water softening

Demineralization

Absorption

Adsorption

The unit of dynamic viscosity is ____________.

Metre2/Sec

Metre/Sec

Pa * Sec

Dimensionless

The relation between dynamic and kinematic viscosity is given by ____________.

Dynamic viscosity = Kinematic viscosity * Density of water

Kinematic viscosity = Dynamic viscosity + Density of water

Dynamic viscosity = Dynematic viscosity * Density of water

Dynamic viscosity = Kinematic viscosity / Density of water

CD = 18.5/R^0.6

CD = 24/R

CD = 8.5/R0.6

CD = R/24
