What is the meaning and importance of dose determination?
Dose determination is to find or calculate a quantity of actual requirement/demand of a particular disinfectant required to fulfill its desired effect. It is very important to decide dose, because it depends on the basic chemical quality of water and varies accordingly. Geographical, geological, seasonal variations of the water bodies change the dose patterns. This is applicable to the determination of dose of chemicals used in treatment of effluent also. The dose depends upon types of effluents and concentrations of the effluents to be treated.
