摘要
The construction and performance evaluation of a novel Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) sensor is described. The sensor measures, using an oxygen electrode, a decrease of dissolved oxygen of a given sample resulting from photocatalytic oxidation of the organic compounds therein. As the photocatalyst, titanium dioxide (TiO2) fine particles adsorbed on a translucent poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) membrane was used. The oxygen electrode with the membrane attached on its tip was used as the sensor probe. The operation characteristics of the sensor are demonstrated using an artificial wastewater and real water samples from lakes in Japan. This method is considered to be reliable, in that the observed parameter is close to the theoretical definition of chemical oxygen demand (COD), the amount of oxygen consumed for oxidation of organic compounds.
