Application of chemical oxygen demand to drinking water
“This study investigated the use of a photoelectrochemical chemical oxygen demand (peCOD) analyzer for the detection of model organic compounds and natural organic matter (NOM) from four drinking water treatment plants in Nova Scotia, Canada. Most model organic compounds showed reasonable correlation between peCOD and theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD), indicating that peCOD was a reasonable ...

Constructed wetlands for wastewater reuse in agriculture
Deteriorating quality and increasing scarcity of water in Iraq demands a rethink in the way wastewater is managed. We show here that a constructed wetland can assist an existing sewage treatment plan not only to be lower than actual Iraqi effluent standards, but to also meet water quality criteria for reuse in agricultural production. Scarcity is one of several challenges to the Iraqi waters. ...
