Study design
- Inoculum or test system:
- sewage, domestic (adaptation not specified)
- Details on inoculum:
- Sewage inoculum:
The inoculum was effluent from a treatment plant dealing with a predominantly domestic sewage.
A sample of secondary effluent was collected within 24 hours of the start of the test. The sample was continuously aerated up to 1 hour before it was required, when the aeration was stopped and the effluent allowed to settle. The supernatant from this was used as th inoculum in the test. - Duration of test (contact time):
- > 0 - < 28 d
- Details on study design:
- The pH values remained at pH 7.5 to 7.6 until Day 28, when there was a decrease in pH between 6 and 7 in the mixtures in all the flasks except flask 2.The pH in flask 2 on Day 28 was 7.5.

- The above shows percentage removal of DOC from each test mixture, calculated from the blank calculated from the blank corrected data as given in Table 4.
There was no trend to indicate significant removal of the test substance during the 28 day test.
The percentage removal of DOC from the mixture containing soidum benzoate had reach >90% by Day 7 and remained at this level until the end of the test (Table 5).

RESULTS
The mean DOC concentrations of the nominal 10, 15 and 17mg/l solutions of the test substance in deionised water were all <1mg/l (Table 1). This shows low solubility of the test substance in unbuffered deionised water.
Table 1: Mean DOC concentration of nominal 10, 15 and 17 mg/l solutions of the test substance in deionised water.
Nominal concentration of DNCP (mg/l) | Mean DOC Concentration (mgC/l) |
10 | 0.7 |
15 | 0.8 |
17 | 0.8 |
Solutions were nominally 5, 10, 15 and 17mg/l were then prepared in deionised water containing phosphate buffer at concentrations to be used in the test mixtures. The DOC concentrations of these mixtures increased with increasing nominal concentration up to a nominal concentration of 15mg/l (Table 2). This indicated that the limit of solubility of the test substance in the buffered mineral salts medium was likely to be <15mg/l. therefore, it was decided to prepare a mixture containing the test substance at a nominal concentration of 10mg/l (expected DOC concentration 4 to 5 mg C/l) in buffered mineral salts medium, at the start of the test.
Table 2: DOC concentrations of nominal 5, 10, 15 and 17 mg/l solutions of the test substance in buffered deionised water.
Nominal concentration of DNCP (mg/l) | DOC concentration (mg C/l) |
5 | 3.0 |
10 | 4.6 |
15 | 6.0 |
17 | 5.1 |
The mixture containing the test substance in mineral salts medium had a mean DOC concentration of 4.2 mg C/l (Table 3) at the start of the test and the mixture was yellow in colour. There was no evidence to suggest that the DOC concentration in this mixture decreased during the 28 day test and no change in the colour of the mixture was observed.

The mean DOC concentration of the mixture containing sodium benzoate started at approximately 21 mg C/l but had decreased to < 2mg/l by Day 7. The mean DOC concentration in this mixture remained <2 mg/l between Day 7 and Day 28.
The DOC concentration of the blank mixture remained < 1mg C/l throughout the test.
