Chemical oxygen demand (COD)
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a measure of the quantities of such materials present in
the water. COD, however, as measured in a COD test, also includes the demand of
biologically degradable materials because more compounds can be oxidized chemically than
biologically. Hence, the COD is larger than the BOD.
The amount of oxygen required by micro-organisms to oxidize organic wastes aerobically is
called biochemical Oxygen demand (BOD).
Why COD is greater than BOD?
Because BOD contains only biodegradable but whereas COD includes both biodegradable
and non biodegradable that is the reason why cod is larger than BOD.

At 25℃, hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is 0.001M. Determine the 𝑃𝐻 of the

Sand is commonly divided into five sub-categories based on size:
a) Very fine sand (1/16 - 1/8 mm)
b) Fine sand (1/8 mm - 1/4 mm)
c) Medium sand (1/4 mm - 1/2 mm)
d) Coarse sand (1/2 mm - I mm), and
e) Very coarse sand (I mm. - 2 mm).
