Scope1.1 These test methods cover the determination of thequantity of oxygen that certain impurities in water willconsume, based on the reduction of a dichromate solutionunder specified conditions. The following test methods areincluded:Test Method A 2 Macro COD by Reflux Digest

4、ion and TitrationTest Method B 2 Micro COD by Sealed Digestion and Spectrometry1.2 These test methods are limited by the reagents employedto a maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 800 mg/L.Samples with higher COD concentrations may be processed byappropriate dilution of the sample. Modified proce

5、dures ineach test method (Section 15 for Test MethodAand Section 24for Test Method B) may be used for waters of low CODcontent ( 50 mg/L).1.3 As a general rule, COD results are not accurate if thesample contains more than 1000 mg/LCl. Consequently, thesetest methods should not be applied to samples

6、such asseawaters and brines unless the samples are pretreated asdescribed in Appendix X1.1.4 This test method was used successfully on a standardmade up in reagent water. It is the users responsibility toensure the validity of these test methods for waters of untestedmatrices.1.5 This standard does

Summary of Test Methods4.1 Most organic and oxidizable inorganic substances pres-ent in water are oxidized by a standard potassium dichromatesolution in 50 % sulfuric acid (vol/vol). The dichromateconsumed (Test Method A) or tri-valent ch

15、9428-2959. United States14.3 These test methods provide for combining the reagentsand sample in a manner that minimizes the loss of volatileorganic materials, if present.4.4 The oxidation of up to 1000 mg/L of chloride ion isinhibited by the addition of mercuric sulfate to form stable andsoluble mer

16、curic sulfate complex.Atechnique to remove up to40 000 mg/L chloride is shown in Appendix X1 for TestMethod B. The maximum chloride concentration that may betolerated with the procedure for low COD, Test Method A(15.10), has not been established.4.5 The chemical reaction involved in oxidation of mat

17、erialsby dichromate is illustrated by the following reaction withpotassium acid phthalate (KC8H5O4):41 H2SO4110 K2Cr2O712KC8H5O410 Cr2SO4!3111 K2SO4116 CO2146 H2OSince 10 mol of potassium dichromate has the same oxida-tion power as 15 mol of oxygen, the equivalent reaction is:2KC8H5O4115 O21H2SO416

18、CO216H2O1K2SO4Thus 2 mol of potassium acid phthalate consumes 15 mol ofoxygen. The theoretical COD of potassium acid phthalate is1.175 g of oxygen per gram of potassium acid phthalate (Table1).5. Significance and Use5.1 These test methods are used to chemically determine themaximum quantity of oxyge

19、n that could be consumed bybiological or natural chemical processes due to impurities inwater. Typically this measurement is used to monitor andcontrol oxygen-consuming pollutants, both inorganic andorganic, in domestic and industrial wastewaters.5.2 The relationship of COD to other water quality pa

20、ram-eters such as TOC and TOD is described in the literature.36. Interference and Reactivity6.1 Chloride ion is quantitatively oxidized by dichromate inacid solution. (1.0 mg/Lof chloride is equivalent to 0.226 mg/Lof COD.) As the COD test is not intended to measure thisdemand, concern for chloride

21、oxidation is eliminated up to1000 mg/L of chloride by complexing with mercuric sulfate.6.1.1 Up to 40 000 mg/L chloride ion can be removed witha cation based ion exchange resin in the silver form asdescribed in Appendix X1 when using Test Method B. Sincethis pretreatment was not evaluated during the

22、 interlaboratorystudy, the user of the test method is responsible to establish theprecision and bias of each sample matrix.6.2 Oxidizable inorganic ions, such as ferrous, nitrite,sulfite, and sulfides are oxidized and measured as well asorganic constituents.7.

Scope10.1 The amount of dichromate consumed in Test MethodAis determined by titration rather than the spectrophotometricprocedure used in Test Method B. This test method is appro-priate where larger

34、sample volumes would provide betterprecision and better representativeness of where equipment orspace limitations exist.10.2 The precision of this test method in standard solutionscontaining low-volatility organic compounds has been exam-ined in the range of approximately 10 to 300 mg/L.11. Summary

35、of Test Method11.1 The sample and standardized dichromate solution, in a50 % by volume sulfuric solution, is refluxed for a 2-hdigestion period.11.2 Excess dichromate after the digestion period is titratedwith a standard ferrous ammonium sulfate solution usingortho-phenanthroline ferrous complex as

36、an internal indicator.12. Interferences12.1 The test method does not uniformly oxidize all organicmaterials. Some compounds, for example, are quite resistant tooxidation, while others, such as carbohydrates, are easilyoxidized. A guide to the behavior of various types of organicmaterials is provided

37、 in Table 1.12.2 Volatile organics that are difficult to oxidize may bepartially lost before oxidation is achieved. Care in maintaininga low-solution temperature (about 40C) and permitting oxi-dation to proceed at the lower temperature for a period of timebefore reflux is initiated will result in hi

38、gher recoveries oftheoretical COD of volatile organics.13. Apparatus13.1 Reflux Apparatus The apparatus consists of a500-mL Erlenmeyer or a 300-mL round-bottom flask, made ofheat-resistant glass connected to a 300-mm (12-in.) Allihncondenser by means of a ground-glass joint. Any equivalentreflux app

39、aratus may be substituted, provided that a ground-glass connection is used between the flask and the condenser,and provided that the flask is made of heat-resistant glass.13.2 Sample Heating ApparatusA heating mantle or hotplate capable of delivering sufficient controlled heat to main-tain a steady

40、reflux rate in the reflux apparatus is satisfactory.13.3 Apparatus for Blending or Homogenizing SamplesAhousehold blender is satisfactory.14. Reagents14.1 Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate Solution (0.25 N)Dissolve 98.0 g of ferrous ammonium sulfate solution(FeSO4(NH4)SO46H2O) in water. Add 20 mL of sulfuric

Standardize against 0.025 N potassium dichromate solu-tion as in 14.1. This solution is required only if COD isdetermined in the range of 10 to

44、50 mg/L.14.3 Mercuric Sulfate Powdered mercuric sulfate(HgSO4).14.4 Phenanthroline Ferrous Sulfate Indicator SolutionDissolve 1.48 g of 1,10-(ortho)-phenanthroline monohydrate,together with 0.70 g of ferrous sulfate (FeSO47H2O), in 100mL of water.

This solution is necessary only for determination of COD inthe range of 10 to 50 mg/L.14.8 Sulfuric Acid-Sil

47、ver Sulfate SolutionDissolve 15 g ofpowdered silver sulfate (Ag2SO4) in 300 mL of concentratedsulfuric acid (sp gr 1.84) and dilute to 1 L with concentratedsulfuric acid (sp gr 1.84).15. Procedure15.1 Homogenize the sample by blending if necessary.Place 50.0 mLof the sample in a reflux flask. If les

48、s than 50 mLD1252 06 (2012)13of the sample is used, make up the difference in water, then addthe sample aliquot and mix. Samples containing more than 800mg/LCOD are diluted and mixed precisely with water and 50.0mL of the diluted sample are placed in a reflux flask.NOTE 1If the sample is diluted, it

49、 must consume at least 5 mL ofdichromate. Dilute the sample if more than 20 mL of the titrant is neededto reach the endpoint.15.2 Place 50 mL of water in a reflux flask for the blankdetermination.15.3 Place the reflux flasks in an ice bath and add1gofpowdered mercuric sulfate, 5.0 mL of concentrated sulfuricacid, and several glass beads or boiling stones.
