Which of the following is/are NOT active disinfectant(s) in water treatment?
Show Hint
- $\bullet OH$ (hydroxyl radical)
- $O_3$ (ozone)
- $OCl^-$ (hypochlorite ion)
- $Cl^-$ (chloride ion)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
- $\bullet OH$ (hydroxyl radical) is highly reactive and used as an active disinfectant in water treatment due to its strong oxidation properties.
- $O_3$ (ozone) is a powerful oxidizing agent and is commonly used as an active disinfectant in water treatment.
- $OCl^-$ (hypochlorite ion) is commonly used as a disinfectant in water treatment and is derived from chlorine.
- $Cl^-$ (chloride ion) is the ionized form of chlorine and does not have disinfectant properties. It is stable and does not have significant oxidative properties, thus it is not an active disinfectant.
Questions Asked in GATE CE exam
Two soils of permeabilities \( k_1 \) and \( k_2 \) are placed in a horizontal flow apparatus, as shown in the figure. For Soil 1, \( L_1 = 50 \, {cm} \), and \( k_1 = 0.055 \, {cm/s} \); for Soil 2, \( L_2 = 30 \, {cm} \), and \( k_2 = 0.035 \, {cm/s} \). The cross-sectional area of the horizontal pipe is 100 cm², and the head difference (\( \Delta h \)) is 150 cm. The discharge (in cm³/s) through the soils is ........ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
