Application of ORP for the evaluation of water contamination

Abstract

Water pollution characterization consumes a lot time, facilities and materials. Application of easy applicable and accurate method for pollution determination is quit actual still now. Redox reactions in water are usually biologically mediated and therefore, the oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of wastewater and groundwater systems depends upon biodegradation processes. Oxidation and reduction reactions control the behaviour of many chemical constituents in the water. [...]
