The invention discloses a method for detecting COD in
sewage and
reclaimed water. The detection mechanism, the
water sampling amount and the addition amount of oxidant of the invention are the same asthe method of HJ 828-2017. A
precious metal silver
reagent is replaced by 4 kinds of
metal ion sulfates with different catalytic activities and selectivity such as
manganese sulfate,
copper sulfate,
potassium aluminum
sulfate. The oxidizing property of
potassium dichromate is reduced by using the reduction of acidity of
sulfur-
phosphorus mixed acid, the adsorption of
phosphoric acid, and the presence of
chromium potassium sulfate, and a large volume closed
digestion is used to shorten the
digestion time to 25 min, thereby achieving mercury-free to prevent the interference of
chloride ions. Atthe same time, the reaction pressure is increased, the
digestion temperature is increased to 165 DEG C, so that the oxidation efficiency is improved. The digestion /
titration bottle is integrated, amanual indicator
titration is replaced by a gold
composite electrode potentiometric titration, and the COD in the
water sample is calculated. The 5 kinds of
metal ion sulfates of the method for detecting the COD in
sewage and
reclaimed water are non-toxic, easily available and cheap; the sample of the
sulfur-
phosphorus mixed acid large volume closed digestion has a good adaptability, the COD results are consistent with the method of HJ 828-2017, and the rapid determination and green determination of the COD are achieved.
