This concerns: the presence of interfering substances; problems with the elimination of nitrification; the importance of recognising biomass metabolism; differences of growth coefficient; the inclusion of non-canonical COD fractions and toxic effects. The discussion is based on a literature review and the authors’ own experience. As a conclusion, a preparatory procedure is proposed to assure the correct performance of respirometric COD fractionation for industrial wastewater, especially for more complex chemical effluents.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.18.184.9672}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/a-commentary-on-the-respirometric-evaluation-of-biodegradable-cod-fractions-in-industrial-wastewater} }
