COD or Chemical Oxygen Demand definition

A number of customers have asked us for a definition of COD or Chemical Oxygen Demand which is detailed below:

Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a measure of the capacity of water to consume oxygen during the decomposition of organic matter and the oxidation of inorganic chemicals such as ammonia and nitrite. COD measurements are commonly made on samples of waste waters or of natural waters contaminated by domestic or industrial wastes. Chemical oxygen demand is measured as a standardized laboratory assay in which a closed water sample is incubated with a strong chemical oxidant under specific conditions of temperature and for a particular period of time. A commonly used oxidant in COD assays is potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) which is used in combination with boiling sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). Because this chemical oxidant is not specific to oxygen-consuming chemicals that are organic or inorganic, both of these sources of oxygen demand are measured in a COD assay.

Chemical oxygen demand is related to biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), another standard test for assaying the oxygen-demanding strength of waste waters. However, biochemicaloxygen demand only measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microbial oxidation and is most relevant to waters rich in organic matter. It is important to understand that COD and BOD do not necessarily measure the same types of oxygen consumption. For example, COD does not measure the oxygen-consuming potential associated with certain dissolved organic compounds such as acetate. However, acetate can be metabolized by microorganisms and would therefore be detected in an assay of BOD. In contrast, the oxygen-consuming potential of cellulose is not measured during a short-term BOD assay, but it is measured during a COD test.

pH test strips B Braun

We have been contacted by a number of end users about some pH test strips supplied by B Braun Medical. They have recently stopped supplying these and there has been some cionfusion over which strips are the correct ones.

The strips supplied to B Braun were Whatman part code WN/2638-500 click on the link to buy.

Unfortunately we cannot provide free samples.

Does the Hach Total Iron test detect rust?

When analysing water samples for Iron content there are a large number of forms the iron can take, from conventional dissolved Iron Salts such as Iron Chloride  to particles of Rust and Magnetite.

Does the Hach Iron test kit pick up all of this Iron or just the soluble Iron content?

Used in the standard mode the insoluble Iron particles will not be detected,. However there is an additional digestion step which can be performed to measure all of the iron in the sample.
