- Details on inoculum:
- On-site sludge sampling was carried out at 10 locations in Japan (samples were from surface water and surface soil of rivers, lakes and inland sea; return sludge from sewage plants). Activated sludge, which was prepared and controlled in the test laboratory, was used in this study. The activated sludge, which was cultivated for 18 hours after the synthetic sewage was added, was used. The synthetic sewage was prepared according to the following method: glucose, peptone, and potassium dihydrogenphosphate were dissolved in purified water, and the pH of the solution was adjusted to 7.0 ± 1.0.

Preparations for test:
a) Decision of additive amount of activated sludge
Additive amount of activated sludge into the test vessel was 2.72 ml on the basis of the concentration of suspended solid in the activated sludge which was determined by the following methods;
Method: In accordance with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) K 0102-2013 Section 14.1
Date: October 19, 2015
Result: 3310mg/L
b) Preparation of basal culture medium
The basal culture medium (2L) was prepared at the same proportion as the following method; purified water was added to each 3 ml aliquot of solutions A, B, C and D, which are described in JIS K 0102-2013 Section 21, in order to prepare 1 L of solution. The pH of this solution was then adjusted to 7.0.
c) Validity of activated sludge
Aniline was used as a reference item in order to confirm that the sludge was sufficiently active.
Preparation of test solutions:
a) Addition of test item of aniline
1) Test solution (water + test item) (n=1, Vessel No. 1)
In one test vessel, 30 mg of the test sample was accurately weighed with an electronic analytical balance and added to 300 ml of purified water, so that the concentration of the test item reached 100 mg/l. After stirring the test solution for 18 hours, the pH was the test solution was measured.
2) Test solution (sludge + test item) (n=3, Vessel Nos. 2, 3 and 4)
In each test vessel, 30 mg of the test sample was accurately weighed with an electronic analytical balance and added to the basal culture medium [the volume subtracting the volume (2.72 ml) of activated sludge from 300 ml], so that the concentration of the test item reached 100 mg/l. After stirring the test solution for 18 hours, the pH of the test solution was measured and adjusted to 7.0.
3) Test solution (sludge + aniline) (n=1, Vessel No. 6)
In one test vessel, the basal culture medium [the volume subtracting the volume (2.72 ml) of activated sludge from 300ml] was added and stirred for 18 hours. Then, 29.6 µl (30 mg) of aniline was taken out by micro syringe and added to the basal culture medium so that the concentration of aniline reached 100 mg/L.
4) Test solution (control blank) (n=1, Vessel No. 5)
In one test vessel, nothing was added to the basal culture medium [the volume subtracting the volume (2.72 ml) of activated sludge from 300ml]. After stirring the test solution for 18 hours, the pH of the test solution was measured.
b) Inoculation of activated sludge
The activated sludge was added to each test vessel described in 20, 3) and 4), so that the concentration of the suspended solid reached 30 mg/l.

* The value of the test solution (control blank) was subtracted from the values of the test solutions (sludge + test item)
** Calculated from the total peak area on the chromatograms
*** Determination of each converted product could not be performed because the structural estimation about the most of them was difficult.
Percentage biodegradation:
The percentage decrease of the test item, the ratio of decreased amount to the theoretical amount was calculated instead of the percentage biodegradation by the chemical analysis because the percentage residue of the test item in the test solution (water + test item) (0%) was less than 90%.

Results of qualitative analysis of converted products:
Ten peaks of the converted products in total were found on HPLC chromatograms in the test solution (water + test item) and (sludge + test item). These converted products were treated as A to J in elution order. From the qualitative analysis by LC-MS [with photo-diode-array (PDA) detector], seven peaks of the converted products were detected in total on PDA chromatograms and total ion current (TIC) chromatograms of positive and negative ion in the test solution (water + test item). In the test solution (sludge + test item), two peaks of the converted products were detected in total on PDA chromatograms and TIC chromatograms of positive and negative ion.
From the results of the mass spectral analysis of the converted products (see attached background material), two of them were presumed to be benzenesulfonic acid and 4-hydroxyphthalic acid, and the structures of the others could not be presumed.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Difference between the max value and the min value of the % biodegradation by BOD did not meet validity criteria but not considered to effect validity of test results.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: see conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions pf this study, most of the test item was biodegraded and plural converted products were produced. The converted products are inferred to be eventually degraded by microorganisms.
