COD is an abbreviation. Along with biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), it is an index of the degree of water pollution. It is the amount of oxidant consumed when oxidizing organic substances in water, converted into the amount of oxygen, and is a typical index of the amount of organic pollutants in lakes, ponds, and wastewater. The unit is ppm or mg L -1 . The higher the value, the greater the amount of organic pollutants. Potassium permanganate KMnO 2 or potassium dichromate K 2 Cr 2 O 7 is used as the oxidant. In the JIS water quality test method, the amount of potassium permanganate consumed at 100 °C for 30 min is converted into the amount of oxygen consumed and shown as COD. To measure, a certain excess amount of potassium permanganate is added to the sample water to make it acidic, and then heated in a boiling water bath for 30 min. A certain amount of sodium oxalate is then added to the remaining potassium permanganate to reduce and decolorize it, and the amount of potassium permanganate consumed is determined by back titration with potassium permanganate solution. Of the organic substances in water, carbonaceous matter is relatively easily oxidized, while nitrogenous matter is less susceptible to oxidation. The Basic Law for the Environment sets standard values of 1 to 8 ppm for lakes, marshes, and oceans.

略称COD.生化学的酸素要求量(BOD)とともに水の汚染度を示す指標とされている.水中の有機性物質を酸化する際に消費される酸化剤の量を酸素量に換算したものをいい,湖沼,排水中の有機汚濁物質量を示す代表的な指標である.単位は ppm あるいは mg L-1.数値が大きいほど,有機汚濁物質量が多いことを示す.酸化剤としては,過マンガン酸カリウムKMnO2あるいは二クロム酸カリウムK2Cr2O7が用いられる.JIS水質検査法では,100 ℃,30 min における過マンガン酸カリウムの消費量を酸素消費量に換算した値をCODとして示す.測定は,試料水へ過マンガン酸カリウムの一定過剰量を加え,酸性にした後,沸騰水浴中で30 min 加熱する.ついで残留している過マンガン酸カリウムにシュウ酸ナトリウム一定量を加え,還元脱色し,さらに過マンガン酸カリウム溶液で逆滴定して,過マンガン酸カリウムの消費量を求める.水中の有機性物質としては,炭素質は比較的酸化されやすいが,窒素質は酸化されにくい.湖沼,海域では環境基本法にもとづき1~8 ppm の基準値が定められている. 出典 森北出版「化学辞典(第2版)」化学辞典 第2版について 情報 |
