| 单词 | chemical oxygen demand (COD) |
| 释义 | chemical oxygen demand (COD)Definition The standard method for indirect measurement of the amount of pollution (that cannot be oxidized biologically) in a sample of water. The chemical oxygen demand test procedure is based on the chemical decomposition of organic and inorganic contaminants, dissolved or suspended in water. The result of a chemical oxygen demand test indicates the amount of water-dissolved oxygen (expressed as parts per million or milligrams per liter of water) consumed by the contaminants, during two hours of decomposition from a solution of boiling potassium dichromate. The higher the chemical oxygen demand, the higher the amount of pollution in the test sample. For the contaminants that can be oxidized biologically, the biological oxygen demand (BOD) method is used. |
