Chemical Oxygen Demand Analysis Methods

This document discusses the chemical oxygen demand (COD) test used to indirectly measure the amount of organic compounds in water. The COD test uses potassium dichromate in acidic conditions to oxidize organic compounds, and the amount of dichromate reduced is measured to calculate the COD level. The process involves placing a water sample in a vial, heating it in a reactor with dichromate, and then analyzing it in a spectrophotometer.
