Equations relating electroplating effluent parameters

+++

I am currently doing my thesis on modelling and simulation of electroplating effluent.i would appreciate it if equations relating the various analysed parameters which include tds,pH,BOD,COD,total suspended solids, total solids e.t.c are sent to me.

Thank you.

I've mentioned this before, Chantal, so I apologize to anyone who finds it boring, but:

Charles Darwin was once questioned about whether the scientific method requires approaching projects free of bias and without leaning upon intuition. His answer was that to attempt to conduct science that way is equivalent to the scientist simply going down into a gravel pit each day and just categorizing every pebble by color, weight, and shape. It leads nowhere.

So, rather than asking our readers to mail you every piece of data about all the pebbles involved in electroplating effluent (which experience shows they won't do, and which would be far better gathered from a text anyway), please tell us what your studies lead you towards believing, and ask us for supporting or contradictory evidence or data for your thesis. Thanks, and good luck with it either way.
