How to remove COD
« on: September 17, 2013, 01:59:33 AM »
We have spent acid that contain 80 % sulfuric acid, 15-20 % water and 1 % p-Chlorobenzenesulfonic acid. Its COD is nearly 36000 ppm. I want to reduce the COD below 2000 ppm. We have a party willing to take the spent but the condition is COD should be below 2000 ppm.

Any suggestions.

What will you do after the COD is reduced? 80% spent acid even without COD is not exactly ripe for disposal.

Use a multi effect evaporator, I guess.
