Rapid Instrumentation Methods for Water Pollution Analysis

Abstract

Three new methods are described for determining the pollution loading on a waste treatment plant or a stream. These are Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Total Oxygen Demand (TOD), and the Carbon Dioxide Demand (CO2D). All of these can be used to replace or supplement the conventional Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) procedures. Graphs which show the relationship between the three techniques and the conventional COD and BOD tests are included for industrial and domestic wastes.
