Used to measure the organic strength of wastewaters
Same principle as BOD but different execution.
Rather than biologically decompose/oxidize organic waste, we chemically decompose/oxidize organic waste.

…a balanced equation!
CnHaObNc + d Cr2O72- + (8d+c) H+ →Δ →
nCO2 + (a+8d-3c)/2 H2O + c NH4+ + 2 dCr3+
It all begins with…

CnHaObNc + Cr2O72- + H+ →Δ →
CO2 + H2O + NH4+ + Cr3+
CnHaObNc + O2 → CO2 + H2O + NH3
Notice the similarities!
Ignore the stoichiometry for the moment

CnHaObNc + Cr2O7
2- + H+ →Δ →
CO2 + H2O + NH4+ + Cr3+
CnHaObNc + O2 → CO2 + H2O + NH3
NH4+ instead of NH3. Why?
It’s in acid. NH3 is a base. In acid, it gets protonated.
The differences

2- + H+ →Δ → CO2 + H2O + NH4
+ + Cr3+
CnHaObNc + O2 → CO2 + H2O + NH3 Cr2O7
2- and acid with heat instead of bacteria and oxygen in a warm, dark place.
Other than that, they are really the identical process.
The differences

CnHaObNc + Cr2O72- + H+ →Δ →
CO2 + H2O + NH4+ + Cr3+
CnHaObNc + O2 → CO2 + H2O + NH3
In COD test, for example, both glucose and lignin is oxidized.
Therefore, COD > BOD

CnHaObNc + Cr2O72- + H+ →Δ →
CO2 + H2O + NH4+ + Cr3+
It’s in the dichromate (Cr2O72-).
Where’s the O in equation?

The most common COD errors are due to oxidation of inorganic species.
Dichromate is a powerful oxidant – it will oxidize
not only almost all organics but many metals and non-metal ions:
6 Fe2+ + Cr2O7
2- + 14 H+ → Fe3+ + 2 Cr3+ + 7 H2O 6 Cl- + Cr2O7
2- + 14 H+→ 3 Cl2 + 2 Cr3+ + 7 H2O

Do not differentiate between the biologically oxidizible and inert substances
Do not indicate the rate of reaction

They purport to measure the same thing – but they will never agree.
Biggest error in BOD?
BOD tends to err on the low side due to humus (“inedible” organic waste).
Biggest error in COD?
COD tends to err on the high side due to oxidation of inorganic species.
COD vs. BOD

COD is again a relative measure: higher COD = dirtier water.
COD can be used with BOD – they are not a replacement for each other.

How would you test for COD?
You need to monitor either the disappearance of dichromate or the appearance of Cr3+

Dichromate can be reduced inorganically to Cr3+ using Fe2+
6 Fe2+ + Cr2O72- + 14 H+ →
6 Fe3+ + 2 Cr3+ + 7 H2O
Excess dichromate

Take x mL of the waste water sample to be tested. Add an equal amount of K2Cr2O7 solution to the sample and a sample of distilled water (the blank).
After digestion, you titrate both the blank and the
waste water sample with an Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 standard solution.
The difference between the 2 titrations is the
amount of Cr2O72- used in the digestion.
To Conduct the test:

A 50 mL waste water sample is collected. 10 mL of 0.25 N K2Cr2O7 is added to the water sample and to 50 mL of distilled water. Both samples are heated to 150°C for 2 hours. The samples are allowed to cool for 10 minutes and then titrated with 0.1015 N iron (II) ammonium sulfate. The waste water sample requires 15.36 mL of titrant, while the blank sample requires 23.65 mL to reach a 1,10 phenanthroline endpoint. What is the COD of the waste water sample?

You add dichromate to distilled water AND to your water sample.
What does dichromate do in distilled water?
NOTHING! There’s nothing for it to oxidize.
What’s going on?

6 Fe2+ + Cr2O72- + 14 H+ →
6 Fe3+ + 2 Cr3+ + 7 H2O
The titration reaction has 6:1 stoichiometry of the Fe2+
titrant to the Cr2O72-.
Titrating the solutions with Fe2+ is telling us how much dichromate is left over!
You can’t avoid the stoichiometry

We have different amounts of dichromate in the 2 different samples, does this make sense?
Yes, we reduced some dichromate in the “dirty”
sample while the distilled water should have all the dichromate it started with!
The difference between the two samples is the
amount of dichromate reduced and, therefore, the amount of organic material oxidized!

You can express solution concentrations (like the Fe2+) in “normality” instead of “molarity”.
Do we remember what “normality” is?
Normality = equivalent moles of solute
L solution

Pure water: NCr = 4.80x10-2 N Cr2O7
2- “Dirty” water: NCr = 3.12x10-2 N Cr2O7
2-
The difference between the two is the amount reduced! Since the volume is the same, you can just subtract:
4.80x10-2 N - 3.12x10-2 N = 1.68x10-2 N Cr2O72- reduced
What does this mean?

We could express the impurity based strictly on the dichromate used: the more dichromate required, the more organic material that must have been there.
Still no “O”

Instead of reporting the dichromate used, the dichromate is converted into equivalent amount of oxygen, as if you were again “burning” the organic waste as in the BOD process:
CnHaObNc + O2 → CO2 + H2O + NH3
(unbalanced)
Equivalent oxygen

An equivalent is… …an electron How many electrons does O2 transfer? FOUR! O2 → 2 O2-
So, the “equivalent mass of oxygen” is… … 8 g/mol [32 g O2 * 1 mol O2 ] mol O2 4 equiv moles
It’s a redox reaction

1.68x10-2 N Cr2O72- reduced = 1.68x10-2 N O2
