- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge (e.g. location, sampling depth, contamination history, procedure): Sewage treatment plant Bensheim, Germany
The aerobic activated sludge was washed by centrifugation and the supernatant liquid phase was decanted. The solid material was re-suspended in test water and centrifuged again. This procedure was done three times. An aliquot of the final sludge suspension was weighed, dried and the ratio of wet sludge to its dry weight was determined. Based on this ratio, calculated aliquots of washed sludge suspension, corresponding to 3.5 g dry material per litre were mixed with test water (see 6.5) and aerated overnight. This suspension was used for the experiment. - Duration of test (contact time):

SAMPLING
For N-containing test items as Oxaceprol, a correction for a potential uptake of oxygen by nitrification was made. For this reason, on exposure day 0 a sufficient aliquot was withdrawn from one bottle containing the test item and inoculum, from the inoculum control (after measurement of oxygen concentration) for analysis of nitrate-N and nitrite-N using Continuous Flow Analysis. At day 28 an aliquot from both inoculum controls, and both test item flasks was taken for analysis. Due to an increase in the concentration of nitrate-N and nitrite-N in the test bottles, the oxygen uptake by nitrification was calculated.
Specimen of a control and a test item treated flask was sampled at test start and stored deep frozen (-20°C ± 5°C) until nitrate-N and Nitrite-N determination was done. At test end, specimen of a control and test item treated groups were sampled and the nitrification was determined. For determination, undiluted extracts were used.
The nitrogen determination was done using a AA3 Continuous Flow Analyzer and equipment:
Pump: AA3
Autosampler: XY-2 / XY-3Sampler
Chemical Module: Control Modul Chemtray NO2 / NO3
Photometer: Wavelength 550 nm
Dilution Unity: Syringe Diluter 3
Eluent (in pure water): 0.1 M KCl
Software: AACE Vers 6.04GLP

BOD5 / COD results
- Results with reference substance:
- The reference item sodium benzoate was sufficiently degraded to 69% after 14 days and after 28 days of incubation.
The percentage biodegradation of the reference item confirms the suitability of the used aerobic activated sludge inoculum.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The 10-day windows began on day 7 after application, the mean value was calculated to be 25% biodegradation (ThODNO3). Therefore, the end of the 10-day window was day 17. After correction for the mean biochemical oxygen demand of the inoculum controls the mean biodegradation percentage based on ThODNO3at the end of the 10-day window was 78%; the criterion of the 10 day window was passed. The mean biodegradation percentage at the end of the 28-day exposure period was 84 %.
If no nitrification is considered, the mean biodegradation was 108% after 28 days of incubation. The criterion of the 10 day window was fulfilled on day 17, when the biodegradation was 100%.
The nitrate-N rate formed in the controls after 28 days of incubation was 1.803 mg/L (mean). The nitrate-N rate in the test item treated vessels was 8.923 mg/L (mean). Therefore, a nitrification occurred.In the case of a nitrification or transformation of ammonium to nitrate-N, the degradation of Oxaceprol was 83% (mean) after 28 days
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The degradation rate of Oxaceprol reached 60% within the 10-day window and after 28 days. Therefore, Oxaceprol is considered to be readily biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
Aerobic activated sludge (microorganisms from a domestic wastewater treatment plant) was supplied by the sewage treatment plant of Bensheim, Germany.
The test item Oxaceprol was investigated for its ready biodegradability in a manometric respirometry test over a period of 28 days. The biodegradation was followed by the oxygen uptake of the microorganisms during exposure. As a reference item sodium benzoate was tested simultaneously under the same conditions as the test item, and functioned as a procedure control.
Degradation rate of test item calculated by the oxygen consumption of the aerobic activated sludge microorganisms after 28 days of incubation.
The degradation rate of Oxaceprol reached 60% within the 10-day window and after 28 days. Therefore, Oxaceprol is considered to be readily biodegradable.
