b. Statement II is correct. while statement I is incorrect
c. Both. statements I and II are correct
d. Both. statements I and II are incorrect

12. A mixed tank reactor is to be designed for treating phenol in an industrial wastewater, form an initial concentration of 70 mg/L to a final outlet concentration of 5 mg/L, where phenol is expected to undergo first order decay at a rate constant of 0.65/d. If the reactor is to be operated at steady state, the design volume of reactor for treating 20 kL/d wastewater would be:

а. 135 m3
b. 294 m3
с. 400 m°
d. 620 m

Question Statement (13-15): The 5-day BOD of a wastewater sample measured at 20°C incubation temperature was found to be 320 mg/L. The laboratory data revealed that the BOD reaction rate constant (at 20°C) k2o (base e) was 0.26/day, and the temperature coefficient was 1.035. Based on the information. answer the following questions:
