Study design
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- other: Activated sludge from the sewage plant of Taunusstein-Bleidenstadt dealing with predomi¬nantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- Prior to use a sample of activated sludge from the sewage plant at Taunusstein-Bleidenstadt was washed twice with mineral nutrient solution of the CO2-Evolution-Test to eliminate organic components and carbonates from the sludge. After resolution with mineral nutrient medium the sludge was aerated by means of compressed humidified air for about four hours. Before use as inoculum for the CO2-Evolution-Test the sludge was homogenised in a "Waring Blender" at low speed for 2 minutes and then filtered through a cotton filter previously carefully rinsed with deionised water. The filtrate was used as inoculum (1% of the final volume of the test solution) on the same day of preparation.

Results and discussion
% Degradation
- Parameter:
- % degradation (TOC removal)
- Value:
- 17
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Remarks on result:
- other: mean value
- Details on results:
- Calculated from the organic carbon content of the test item and the measured CO2 generation, 18% of the theoretical CO2 (ThCO2) has been generated by the test item within 28d of test period in the first culture with 50.68 mg of test item. 15% of the theoretical CO2 (ThCO2) has been generated by the test item within 28d in the second culture with 48.03 mg of test item. The calculated mean degradation value of the test item was 17%.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The threshold of 60% for “ready biodegradability” requirement was not met within both test treatments. Thus, the test item may be regarded as “not readily biodegradable". The control item sodium benzoate was degraded 86%, the "10-days-window" being met within 7 days (74%).
- Executive summary:
The substance was tested for ready biodegradability according to 'CO2-Evolution-Test' (OECD Guideline 301B). Calculated from the organic carbon content of the test item and the measured CO2 generation, 18% of the theoretical CO2 (ThCO2) has been generated by the test item within 28d of test period in the first culture with 50.68 mg of test item. 15% of the theoretical CO2 (ThCO2) has been generated by the test item within 28d in the second culture with 48.03 mg of test item. The calculated mean degradation value of the test item was 17%. The threshold of 60% for “ready biodegradability” requirement was not met within both test treatments. Thus, the test item may be regarded as “not readily biodegra¬dable". The control item sodium benzoate was degraded 86%, the "10-days-window" being met within 7 days (74%). The total CO2-evolution of the Blank was 125.8 mg CO2 / 3.5 litres of test solution. Thus the test is regarded to be valid. The results obtained with the toxicity control indicate that there was no toxicity of the test item towards microorganisms at the concentration used within the test.
