    1. The document describes a method for determining chemical oxygen demand (COD) using a closed titrimetric reflux method. 2. COD indicates the amount of oxygen required to oxidize organic matter in a waste sample under specific conditions of temperature and time using an oxidizing agent. 3. The procedure involves adding sulfuric acid, a sample, and potassium dichromate to digestion vessels, heating the vessels, then titrating the solution with ferrous ammonium sulfate using an indicator to determine the end point.

    Method for COD determination:

    determination of COD was Carried out by closed titrimetric reflux method. The Chemical Oxygen
    Demand (COD) method indicates the quantity of oxygen required to oxidize the organic matter in a
    waste sample, under specific conditions of oxidizing agent, temperature, and time.
    Apparatus:
    1. Digestion vessels (vial)2.
    2. COD Reactor
    3. Burette
    4. Pipette
    5. Sucker
    Reagents:

    K2Cr2O7

    Concentrated H2SO4

    Standard Ferrous ammonium sulphate

    Ferron indicator

    Procedure:

    Digestion vessels were washed with 20% H2SO4 before initiating any experimental work to
    avoid contamination which could produce interferences. H2SO4 was measured and added in
    digestion vessels. Sample and K2Cr2O7 was added in vessels. Sulfuric acid reagents were run
    down inside of vesseles so an acid layer is formed under sample digestion solution layer.

    Caps of vessels were tightly caped so that solution may not leak out. Vessels were inverted
    several several time to mix completely.

    Digestion vessels were placed in COD reactor which was preheated to 1500c. These vessels
    were placed in test tube rack to let them cool down to room temperature.

    Caps of vessels were removed and solution was transferred to beaker for further process 1-2
    drops of ferron indicator was added. The color of solution turned blue-green. Then this solution

    subjected to titration against ferrous ammonium sulphate. The end point of titration was reddish
    hue.

    Similar procedure was carried out with blank containing reagents and volume of distilled water
    equal to that of sample was titrated.
