Study design
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge: Acitvated sludge freshly otained from a municipal sewage treatment plant: 'Waterschap Aa en Maas', 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands
- Storage conditions: Freshly obtained sludge was used immediately; Before the start of the test (Day -1) mineral components, Milli-RO water (ca. 80 % of final volume) and inoculum were added to each bottle. This mixture was aerated with synthetic air overnight to purge the system of CO2.
- Storage length: Freshly obtained sludge was used immediately
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: Concentration of suspended solids (SS) was determined to be 3 g/L in concentrated sludge as used for the test. Magnetically stirred sludge was used as inoculum at an amount of 3 mL per litre of mineral medium.
- Pretreatment: Before use, sludge was coarsely sieved (1 mm)
- Concentration of sludge: 9 mg/L suspended soilds concentration - Duration of test (contact time):

- TEST CONDITIONS
- Composition of medium: According to the guideline
- Test temperature: 22 - 23 °C
- pH: 7.4 - 7.5 (Control and Test item concentrations)
- Aeration of dilution water: Approximately 1-2 bubbles per second (ca. 30-100 mL/min).
- Continuous darkness: Yes, Test media were excluded from light.
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 2 litre brown coloured glass bottles.
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 2 bottles
- Method used to create aerobic conditions: A mixture of oxygen (ca. 20%) and nitrogen (ca. 80%) was passed through a bottle; Synthetic air was passed through the scrubbing solutions.
- Measuring equipment: CO2 produced in each test bottle reacted with barium hydroxide in the gas scrubbing bottle and precipitated out as barium carbonate. The amount of CO2 produced was determined by titrating remaining Ba(OH)2 with 0.05 M standardized HCl (1:20 dilution from 1 M HCl (Titrisol® ampoule), Merck, Darmstadt, Germany).
- Test performed in open system: Yes
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: Three CO2-absorbers (bottles filled with 100 mL 0.0125 M Ba(OH)2) were connected in series to the exit aeration line of each test bottle.
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: Every second or third day during the first 10 days, and thereafter at least every fifth day until Day 28, for inoculum blank and test item. Titrations for procedural and toxicity control were made over a period of
at least 14 days. Final titration was made on Day 15 (procedural and toxicity control) and on Day 29 (remaining vessels).
- Sampling method: Each time the CO2-absorber nearest to the test bottle was removed for titration; each of the remaining two absorbers were moved one position in the direction of the test bottle. A new CO2-absorber was placed at the far end of the series. On the penultimate day, pH of respective test suspensions was measured and 1 mL of concentrated HCl (37%, Merck) was added to the inoculum blank and test suspension.

BOD5 / COD results
- Results with reference substance:
- In the toxicity control, more than 25% biodegradation occurred within 14 days (72%, based on ThCO2). Therefore, the test item was considered not to inhibit microbial activity.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Procedure control (reference control):
Functioning of the test system was checked by testing the procedural control item sodium acetate, which showed a normal biodegradation curve.
Conclusion:
Relative biodegradation values calculated from measurements performed during the test period revealed 74% and 65% biodegradation of the test item (based on ThCO2). Thus, the criterion for ready biodegradability (at least 60% biodegradation within a 10-day window) was met.
