	RedOrbit - Science - Enhancement of Chemical-Oxygen Demand and Color Removal of Distillery Spent-Wash By Ozonation
		Oxygen gas, containing 1 to 2% ozone, was introduced to the reactor from the bottom through a porous ceramic plate, such that the small bubbles are released into the water column to facilitate mass transfer.
		During ozonation, average COD of the samples declined from 2200 to 1550 mg/L, and the average TOC declined from 770 to 500 mg/L. The third type of ozonation was performed in two batches for preparation of substrate for reactor C. one-consumption data for the first batch is shown in Figure 7.
		During ozonation, average COD of the sample declined from 19 000 to 17 000 mg/L, and the average TOC declined from 6500 to 5500 mg/L. Comparison of Figures 6 and 7 indicates that ozonation in the second case is more efficient, as less gaseous ozone is escaping from the reactor.

	Chemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In environmental chemistry, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) test is commonly used to indirectly measure the amount of organic compounds in water.
		Because COD measures the oxygen demand of organic compounds in a sample of water, it is important that no outside organic material be accidentally added to the sample to be measured.
		The oxygen demand in the blank sample is subtracted from the COD for the original sample to ensure a true measurement of organic matter.

	Wastewater treatment in the fishery industry - 2. Wastewater characterization
		The biochemical oxygen demand, also known as BOD, estimates the degree of contamination by measuring the oxygen required for the oxidation of organic matter by the aerobic metabolism of the microbial flora.
		In fisheries wastewaters, this oxygen demand originates mainly from two sources: the carbonaceous compounds which are used as substrate by the aerobic micro-organisms, and the nitrogen-containing compounds which are normally present in fisheries wastewaters, such as proteins, peptides and volatile amines.
		The COD is calculated by titrating the excess of dichromate or by spectrophotometrically measuring the Cr ion at 606 nm.

	From biological communities to chemical properties of river water (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Physical and chemical properties give a specific picture of river water quality at a particular point in time, while the biota (living organisms) act as continuous monitors and give a more general picture of water quality over a period of time.
		The problem of inferring the chemical properties from the biota is practically relevant, especially in countries where extensive biological monitoring is conducted.
		Chemical samples contain the measured values of 16 physical an chemical parameters: biological oxygen demand (BOD), chlorine concentration (Cl), CO2 concentration, electrical conductivity, chemical oxygen demand COD (K2Cr2O7 and KMnO4), concentrations of ammonia (NH4), NO2, NO3 and dissolved oxygen (O2), alkalinity (pH), PO4, oxygen saturation, SiO2, water temperature, and total hardness.

		For all three oxidants complete COD reduction of the wastewater sample could not be achieved despite different experimental conditions (temperatures and oxidation duration).
		COD of this sample was 3413mg/L. The sample was then independently treated with the three oxidants.
		Other reasons for not achieving 100% COD reduction could be the presence of some other metals (in low concentrations) in the sample; added oxidants might have also been consumed in their oxidation.

	THERMOREACTOR, VELP, COD, Chemical Oxygen Demand
		Chemical Oxygen Demand means the amount of oxygen from chemical oxidants required for the complete oxidation of substances dissolved or suspended in water.
		By COD determination it is possible to quantitatively evaluate substances which can be oxidized by strong oxidants like potassium dichromate in highly acidic solutions by concentrated sulphuric acid.
		Chemical oxidation is more complete than biological oxidation and therefore COD values for a given sample are generally higher than BOD values.

	Biochemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BOD measures the rate of uptake of oxygen by micro-organisms in the sample of water at a fixed temperature (20°C) and over a given period of time(usually 5 days) in the dark.
		The BOD test is carried out by diluting the sample with de-ionised water saturated with oxygen, inoculating it with a fixed aliquot of seed, measuring the dissolved oxygen and sealing the sample (to prevent further oxygen dissolving in).
		The sample is kept at 20 °C in the dark (to prevent photosynthesis and thereby the addition of oxygen) for five days and the dissolved oxygen is measured again.
