What is the duration in days for BOD test for water analysis at 20 degree c?
It is usually of five days but it may either be 3 days depending upon the the BOD test.
Factor may affect BOD test?
The factors that may affect BOD test include: 1. The temperature at which the test is performed. 2. The amount of seeding done

Why you use blank for the BOD test?
In the BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) test, a blank is used to account for any oxygen demand exerted by materials other than the sample itself, such as the reagents and the dilution water. This ensures that the measured BOD reflects only the oxygen consumed by the biodegradable organic matter present in the sample. By subtracting the BOD of the blank from the sample's BOD, the results provide a more accurate assessment of the sample's organic pollution load.
Why cod higher than bod?
A COD test measures all of the chemicals in a sample which can be oxidized. A BOD5 test measures the total amount of food (or organic carbons) that bacteria can oxidize (in 5 days).A COD test result (that can be performed in about 2 hours) can be correlated to an expected BOD5 result (which takes 5 days).by rislys
Why cod is greater than bod?
COD measures the amount of oxygen required to chemically oxidize (break down) organic and inorganic matter in a water sample, while BOD measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms during a biological process that breaks down organic matter. COD typically gives a higher value than BOD because it includes both the chemical and biological oxygen demand in the water sample.
How to calculate BOD value in a sample?
if unseeded, BOD = (D1-D2)/Pif seeded, BOD = ((D1-D2)-(B1-B2)f)/PD1 = DO of diluted seeded wastewaterD2 = DO of wastewater after incubationB1 = DO of diluted seed sampleB2 = DO of seed sample after incubationf = ratio of seed volume in seeded wastewater test to seed volume in BOD test on seedP = decimal fraction of wastewater sample used. (vol. of wastewater)/(vol. of dilution water plus wastewater)Maybe that helps
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.
What are the differences between seeded and unseeded BOD?
When diluted water is added in surface wastewater to take immediate BOD is called unseeded and after 5 days of period wastewater received saturated oxygen from diluted water is called now seeded BOD.
What are the main sources of error in a BOD test?
The main sources of error in a BOD test include incomplete sample mixing, temperature fluctuations affecting microbial activity, inconsistent incubation times, and microbial growth from outside contamination.
Role of nitrifying bacteria in BOD test?
IN BOD test, Nitrifying bacteria do nitrification which is the process of biological conversion of ammonia into nitrate. Nitrifying bacteria does nitrification because that's the only reason they are termed as nitrifying bacteria otherwise they would be named as something else like if they would do esterification, they would be termed as esterifying bacteria
When was Bod - series - created?
Bod - series - was created in 1975.
