Determination of net gain / loss of oxygen by biochemical processes in tropical waters
2005
Biochemical role involving photosynthesis,
respiration and other oxidation-reduction processes
such as decomposition of organic matter and recycling
of minerals by bacterial action influence the rate of
production and consumption of dissolved oxygen in
tropical aquatic ecosystems. In the existing method
of BOD and COD estimations, the biochemical
release of oxygen in water by photosynthesis and
consumption by respiration of phyto and zooplankton
are not considered while assessing the biochemical
oxygen demand in aquatic systems. This method
helps to assess the net loss/gain of biochemical oxygen
consumption / production in the water samples
considering the microbio-chemical processes
involving release of oxygen by photosynthesis,
consumption by respiration of micro-organisms and
other biochemical oxidation – reduction processes in
water.
