Type your answer here... It's not. Typically, COD is greater than BOD. The COD test is used primarily as an operational control because it takes only a matter of hours, compared to 5 days for the BOD test.

Define the term cod and bod?

"COD" is Chemical Oxygen Demand," and BOD is Biochemical Oxygen Demand." These are the two processes that cause oxidation of an object in either a natural waterway or in industrial wastewater..


What is the difference between BOD and COD?

1. COD or Chemical Oxygen Demand is the total measurement of all chemicals in the water that can be oxidized BOD- Biochemical Oxygen Demand is supposed to measure the amount of food (or organic carbons) that bacteria can oxidize. 2. COD is usually measured and the test is simple and easy to perform with the right equipment and can be done in 2 hours. BOD usually takes 5 days 3. Permissible limit of COD =250 to 500 ppm Permissible limit for BOD = 30 mg/L


What is the significance of BOD and COD in water quality management?

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) both measure the quantity of organic compounds found in water. The makes them significant when is comes to the treatment of water.


BOD and COD definitions and relationship?

BOD is a measure of, the amount of oxygen that bacteria will consume while decomposing organic matter under aerobic conditions. Biochemical oxygen demand is determined by incubating a sealed sample of water for five days and measuring the loss of oxygen from the beginning to the end of the test. Samples often must be diluted prior to incubation or the bacteria will deplete all of the oxygen in the bottle before the test is complete.COD does not differentiate between biologically available and inert organic matter, and it is a measure of the total quantity of oxygen required tooxidize all organic material into carbon dioxide and water. COD values are always greater than BOD values, but COD measurements can be made in a few hours while BOD measurements take five days.
