摘要
Modifications to an electrolytic respirometric system are described which facilitate precise measurements of BOD progressions for low substrate concentration (BOD//5 less than 20 g m** minus **3) as found in natural waters receiving organic enrichment. Samples may be incubated at any desired temperature or dissolved oxygen concentration with automatic hourly monitoring of the BOD progression. Subsamples may be withdrawn at any time without interference to the measurement. The system is independent of atmospheric temperature and pressure fluctuations and has a detection sensitivity of 0. 05 mg of oxygen. Nomographs are presented to enable the maximum dissolved oxygen deficit, and the 'apparent lag' time to be estimated. Refs.
