Abstract

To rapidly determine the pollution extent of wastewater, the calibration models were established for deter-mination of Chemical Oxygen Demand and Biological Oxygen Demand in wastewater by partial least squares and near infrared spectrometry of 120 samples. Spectral data preprocessing and outliers’ diagnosis were also discussed. Correlation coefficients of the models were 0.9542 and 0.9652, and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 25.24 mg?L-1 and 12.13 mg?L-1 in the predicted range of 28.40~528.0 mg?L-1 and 16.0~305.2 mg?L-1 for Chemical Oxygen Demand and Biological Oxygen Demand, respectively. By statistical significance test, the results of determination were compared with those of stan-dard methods with no significant difference at 0.05 level. The method has been applied to simultaneous de-termination of Chemical Oxygen Demand and Biological Oxygen Demand in wastewater with satisfactory results.

Summary

Introduction

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is the amount of oxygen consumed by the organic compounds and inorganic matter which were oxidized in water. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5) is the amount of oxygen consumed by the organic and inorganic compounds which were oxidized by biological-oxidation effect in a certain condition. Both of them reflect the pollution degree of the water, and are the comprehensive index of the relative content of organics. Since 1990s, NIR spectrum was developed fast and became the most conspicuous spectral analysis technique It has been the official authorized method in many fields such as agriculture and food. Calibration model of BOD5 and COD was built with PLS1 and Unscrambler software The pretreatment such as smoothing processing, first derivative and second derivative was compared, outliers diagnosis was . The method has been applied to simultaneously determine of Chemical Oxygen Demand and Biological Oxygen Demand in wastewater with satisfactory results
