Abstract:In industrial effluents, the presence of an infinite number of possible mixtures of substances and the high variability of chemical conditions ask for an evaluation of biodegradability by a global and simple method. Biological oxygen demand after five days (BOD5) using synthetic wastewater was studied by two different ways: dilution and manometric methods. It can therefore be established that BOD5 obtained by adding manufactured inocula to the synthetic medium (effluent containing known and easily biodegradable substances) is close to the values obtained with inocula taken from the treated effluent of an urban and a rural purification plant. It was found that BOD5 measurement of effluents presenting factors affecting biodegradation, similar of those found in industrial effluents, is very questionable. The BOD is in this case influenced by the synergic and antagonist interactions between numerous and variable parameters like as pH, nature and concentration of inoculum, concentration of nutriments, amount and nature of assimilable substances, presence of toxicants, and presence of nitrification inhibitors, which are typical of real industrial wastewaters.
