Question

Aerobic degradation of an organic compound by mixed culture of organism in
wastewater can be represented by following reaction.
[3]
C3H6O3 + a O2 + b NH3 → c C5H7NO2 + d H2o + e CO2
A. Determine a, b, c, d and e, if YX/S = 0.4 d X/g S.
B. Determine the yield coefficients YX/O2 and YX/NH3.
C. Determine the degree of reductions for the substrate, bacteria and RQ for the organisms
