Dear all,

I would like to know that how I can get some info about COD of wsatewaters containing the following organics:
1- ethyl acetate 2- ethanol 3- acetic acid 4- acrylic acid 5- methyl acrylate 6- butyl acrylate 7-isopropanol 8- di ethylen glycol
9-tertiary butyl glycol

I want to know that how to get info about characteristics (COD & TOC) of  effluents containing the above-mentioned organics?
Thank you very much.

No doubt the theoretical values can be worked out from first principles, or you could check the MSDS sheets for each chemical and use that information to make a reasonable estimate, but the most appropriate way to do this is to test the wastewater stream.

Maybe.  Why don't you contact them?

You are not going to find the specific data you seek since no facility will only manufacture one of those chemicals or a combination of just those chemicals.  The data will also vary greatly from near zero to hundreds of mg/L.  There will be no specific values.  You may find some data on facilities looking at USEPA TRI data.  I don't think it would help since those facilities will not talk to you and getting copies of their permit reports is not straightforward.  My only suggestions are to call industry groups.  Start here:

You can also look on Envirofacts, but you need some data.  You could try facility names such as Dupont, Dow, etc.

A recommendation is to search Google Scholar and Scirus for research articles.
