O. Ince et al., EXPERIMENTAL-DETERMINATION OF THE INERT SOLUBLE COD FRACTION OF A BREWERY WASTE-WATER UNDER ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS, Environmental technology, 19(4), 1998, pp. 437-442
The inert soluble COD fraction of a bravery wastewater, in which almos
t all COD was present in soluble form, was determined under anaerobic
conditions by two different methods. The results indicated that the wa
stewater contained practically no inert soluble COD. The anaerobic dig
estion process was found to generate inert soluble microbial byproduct
s, with a yield of approximately 0.04 kg inert soluble COD kg(-1) solu
ble COD utilised. The two methods applied gave similar results.
