Why Do TDS and EC Increase with Larger Wastewater Volumes, While BOD and COD Decrease?

I have carried out MFC experiments on three different volumes, 50, 500 and 1000 mL of wastewater. Results after MFC treatment shows that TDS and EC are more in larger volumes of water i.e. TDS and...

Dear Shishita,

You can use activated sludge method to quantify the BOD of wastewater.

Hope it helps.
