In this alternative COD testing, an excess amount of potassium permanganate is added to the test water under heat (100 degree C) for a fixed time to complete chemical oxidation. The amount of COD is determined from the consumption of potassium permanganate during chemical oxidation of organic substances in the test water. In comparison with American Standard Method using potassium dichromate, the alternative potassium permanganate method requires shorter oxidation time, simpler apparatus, and produces no hazardous chromium waste. Also proposed is a new cleaning solution using potassium permanganate (instead of potassium dichromate) and the concentrated sulfuric acid for cleansing the laboratory glassware. Both alternative COD test method and alternative cleaning solution significantly minimize hazardous waste pollution. American researchers are invited to further study and perfect the Asian COD method and the new potassium permanganate cleaning solution, for possible replacement of both potassium dichromate COD method and potassium dichromate cleaning solution.
