Speciation of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) for wastewater and surface water / Norizan Abdullah

The Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) test has been a standard test method to quantify the amount of biodegradable organic matter present in a water sample. The test is typically conducted over a 5-day period (BODs), with the sample being incubated at 20°C. This study aims to speciate the two organ...
