Summary for analysis for cod Discussion
Analysis for COD in raw water is the focus keyphrase here: Dinesh Kumar asked for the analytical process to check chemical oxygen demand in raw water. The only answer, from Dave Wichern, did not give a step-by-step lab method in the thread itself. Instead, he advised starting with a general overview in Wikipedia and then obtaining ISO 6060, which he identified as the specific instruction set for the analysis. He invited Dinesh to return with follow-up questions after reviewing those sources. So the practical takeaway is that the thread points readers to ISO 6060 as the governing procedure rather than attempting to summarize the test method in the post.
Q. How to check raw water chemical oxygen demand? Tell me analytical process, sir.

A. Hi Dinesh. Please review the relevant article in Wikipedia.
for an overview of the subject, and then obtain ISO 6060 which is the specific instructions for the analysis, and then get back to us with any questions. Good luck.

A. DO must be field measured in-situ. Samples taken and sent to a lab will not yield the correct results.

A. COD is measured in two ways: you can cook the wastewater up with a dichromate/sulfuric acid solution (plus a pinch of mercury), then determine the result via colorimetry; or, you can do it up in a similar solution, reflux, then back titrate the excess dichromate with sodium thiosulphate

or freshly standardized ferrous ammonium sulphate solution. The latter is more precise.
Dissolved oxygen is not the parameter being measured. One does that via Winkler titration (preferable) or electrode.

The COD can also be removed with a hook and line…
apologies, I couldn’t resist.
