Formic acid, oxygen demand

Total oxygen demand (TOD) tells us how much 02 is required for complete combustion of pollutants in a waste stream. A volume of N2 containing a known quantity of 02 is mixed with the sample and complete combustion is carried out. The remaining 02 is measured by a potentiometric sensor (Box 17-1). Different species in the waste stream consume different amounts of O,. For example, urea consumes five times as much 02 as formic acid does. Species such as NH3 and H2S also contribute to TOD. [Pg.338]
