Table 3.

Chemical oxygen demand balance for the degradability of the liquid fraction (in grams of O2 based on a liter of effluent)

Chemical oxygen demand (g O2) Percentage of initial total chemical oxygen demand value
Initial state Total 134.9 100
Dissolved 54.6 40
Non-dissolveda 80.3 60
Final state Methane 77.2 57
Dissolved 9.4 7
Non-dissolveda 48.2 36

aNon-dissolved chemical oxygen demand was calculated from the measured values for total and dissolved chemical oxygen demand.
