Discussion

An oxidation pond treats wastewater largely through the combined action of

  • A.chlorine and ultraviolet light acting together
  • B.grit settling and screening at the inlet
  • C.methanogens producing gas from the sludge
  • D.algae supplying oxygen and bacteria consuming organic matter

Answer: D

Algae photosynthesise near the surface and release the oxygen the aerobic bacteria need, while those bacteria degrade the organic load and return carbon dioxide to the algae. It is a slow, land-hungry, very cheap process suited to warm climates.
