(2) The correlations between results of k and L values obtained by the Warburg method and the Marais method were poor. (3) The Marais method is more suitable than the Warburg method for the determination of k values in the low oxygen uptake rate water, such as in the case of the Houston Ship Channel watersOxygenPollution controlQ5 01503 Characteristics,behavior and fateUSAWater analysisJournal
