Another method to measure the oxygen demand of wastewater is the total oxygen demand(TOD). A small volume of the sample, about 40 microliters, is injected into oxygen containing carrier gas and passed through a catalyst bed at 900 ° C. The carbon, nitrogen, and many minerals are converted to their oxides by consuming oxygen from the carrier gas. The amount of gaseous oxygen consumed is measured and given as the TOD of the sample in mg oxygen/liter of wastewater. 2, record 3, English, - total%20oxygen%20demand

During the period of primary migration or during the subsequent period of retention in the reservoir rock, the change to petroleum occurs. This is followed by a period of collection into a continuous phase, in turn followed by a period of secondary migration, again under the influence of water, through a carrier bed or reservoir rock to a place where further movement is impossible(a trap) and where the petroleum collects into pools or fields. 2, record 4, English, - secondary%20migration

An apparatus used for a process in which the molecules of either a gas or liquid are captured by solid material.

Devices in which contaminant gases or vapors are retained on the surface of the porous media through which the carrier gas flows are adsorbers. The media most commonly used is activated carbon.
