Turbidity
In the case ofBOD the experiment, it is an COD analysis for waste water are used as COD measurements sample Analysis Water Analysis Waste restrictions for inorganic before Can be organic or industries Results are available returning the waste Results may taketo water back at a short time compounds some time to obtain
Analysis of what?
the environment
Requires fewer steps Organic matter in the preparation of life synthesis the sample
difficult Use COD measurements as Some inorganic matter, such as standards for waste management ammonia and nitrite, can consume
Preparation of
An analysis that measures the amount of oxygen consumed byStandardization the organic waste may Helps lessen pollution prove to the Environment and inorganic compounds in themore Standardization is difficult due water sample resistance of some easier Expressed in milligrams per liter (mass compound to of oxygen consumed per liter solution) oxidation.

Summary
COD Analysis
results sources of errors
Test forof dusts quality by indirectly measuring the oxygen requirement of the sample Full wastewater
Equipment Chemical oxygen demand Open Reflux Method per liter of Closed Reflux Method sample Unclean water Some are not in good condition 959.712mg/L Limitations 1099.9776mg/L Cannot differentiate organic from inorganic matter Human error
Advantages
Types
Can be easily done Imprecise measurements Results are reproducible Mistake in calculations Results can be obtain in a short span of time Improper handling of apparatus
the analysis of the wastewater sample is very alarming since it is larger relative to the amount of COD obtained in industrial plants. However, due to the sources of error, the obtained results are unreliable thus, the conclusions made are uncertain.
Working place
Recommendation
Commercially available reagents are recommended to lessen errors derived from lab-prepared ones.
Distilled water All glasswares/apparatus must always be rinsed with distilled water to remove undesired substances. Titration Half-drop technique must be followed Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) Comparison with the results obtained using KHP as reference standard is recommended to verify results
