Endpoint:
adsorption / desorption: screening
Type of information:
other: published data
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is one of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acids (LAS). Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is regarded with 12C-LAS.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A sorption-isotherm and the kinetics of adsorption and desorption of LAS to activated sludge were determined in batch experiments. Three different biodegradation tests were also carried out (an OECD 301F ready biodegradation test; a batch activated sludge [BAS] test; and a ¿by-pass¿ test developed to mimic condition of the pilot scale activated sludge plant).
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
HPLC estimation method
Media:
other: pilot-scale municipal activated sludge
Radiolabelling:
no
Test temperature:
20 deg C
Details on study design: HPLC method:
The HPLC mobile phase consisted of a 16:85 (v/v) suprapur water/methanol mixture containing 12.3 g/L of sodium perchlorate. The HPLC column was operated at 20 deg C and a flow rate of 1ml/min. The column was preconditioned by rinsing with suprapur water for 45 min, followed by rinsing with mobile phase for another 45 min.
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
At least every other day 24-h samples of 2.51 influent and 2.51 effluent were collected in PE bottles.
Details on test conditions:
The pilot-scale activated sludge plant consisted of a completely mixed aeration tank (490 L) and a secondary settler (280 L). The pH in the aeration tank was 7.2-7.4 which was controlled using automated NaOH and HCl. Total (sum of adsorbed and dissolved) LAS concentrations were determined using an HPLC method.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

Remarks:
The log of the adsorption coefficient (KOC) of LAS-C12 was estimated to be log KOC = 3.21 which is equal to a KOC value of 2360
Conclusions:
The log of the adsorption coefficient (KOC) of LAS-C12 was estimated to be log KOC = 3.21 which is equal to a KOC value of 2360
Monitoring data showed consistently low LAS-C12 concentrations of 5–10 mg/L in the effluent of a pilotscale municipal activated sludge plant, irrespective of the influent concentration of LAS-C12 (2–12 mg/L) and of the sludge retent time(10 and 27 d). Sorption equilibrium was achieved rapidly, within 5-10 minutes. Desorption was less pronounced, but still reached rapid equilibration. The sludge-water partition coefficient Kp of 3,210 L/kg volatile suspended solids is reported.
Executive summary:

Monitoring data were collected in a pilot-scale municipal activated sludge plant to assess the fate of the C12-homologue of linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS-C12). The pilot-plant was operated at influent LAS-C12 concentrations between 2 and 12 mg l(-1) and at sludge retention times of 10 and 27 days. Effluent and waste sludge concentrations varied between 5 and 10 microg l(-1) and between 37 and 69 microg g(-1) VSS, respectively. In the sludge samples only 2-8% was present as dissolved LAS-C12, whereas the remaining 92-98% was found to be adsorbed to the sludge. In spite of this high degree of sorption, more than 99% of the LAS-C12 load was removed by biodegradation, showing that not only the soluble fraction but also the adsorbed fraction of LAS-C12 is readily available for biodegradation. Sorption and biodegradation of LAS-C12 were also investigated separately. Sorption was an extremely fast and reversible process and could be described by a linear isotherm with a partition coefficient of 3.2 l g(-1) volatile suspended solids. From the results of biodegradation kinetic tests it was concluded that primary biodegradation of LAS-C12 cannot be described by a (growth) Monod model, but a secondary utilisation model should be used instead. The apparent affinity of the sludge to biodegrade LAS-C12 increased when the sludge was loaded with higher influent concentrations of LAS-C12.
