Manganese III Digestion Method
1.
Enter the stored
program number for
Manganese III COD.
Press:
PRGM
The display will show:
PRGM ?
Note: If samples cannot be
analyzed immediately, see
Sampling and Storage
following these steps.
Note: Preheat the COD
Reactor to 150 °C for use
later in the procedure.
Caution: Some of the chemicals and apparatus used in this
procedure may be hazardous to the health and safety of the
user if inappropriately handled or accidentally misused.
Please read all warnings and the safety section of this

(20 to 1,000 mg/L)
3.
Homogenize
100 mL of sample for
30 seconds in a blender.

even distribution of solids
and improves accuracy
and reproducibility.
Note: Continue mixing the

For water and wastewater
4.
If chloride is not
present in significant
†
amounts
, pipet 0.50 mL
of homogenized sample
into a Mn III COD vial.
Cap and invert several
times to mix.
Note: If the sample COD
value is not between 20-
1000 mg/L dilute the
sample with deionized
water to obtain a range of
20-1000 mg/L COD.
Multiply the final result by
the dilution factor.
†
To determine if chloride
will interfere, run the
sample with and without
the chloride removal
procedure and compare
the results.
