Study design
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge, non-adapted
- Details on inoculum:
- Activated sludge was obtained from the Van Lare Treatment Plant (domestic), Rochester, NY (USA). Upon arrival at the testing laboratory the sludge was aerated for about 4 hours. A sample (about 2000 ml) was collected and homogenized for 2 minutes with a mechanical blender. After settling for 1 hour, the supernatant was pipetted to provide sufficient volume for a 1% inoculum for each test carboy. Viability of the supernatant microorganisms was confimed by using an Easicult TTC dip slide to estimate microbe numbers.
- Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
Initial test substance concentration
- Initial conc.:
- 55.8 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- CO2 evolution
- Details on study design:
- TEST CONDITIONS
- Composition of medium: A basal salts medium prepared in distilled water.
- Test temperature: 21 - 22 deg C during the test period
- pH: The pH of basal salts medium and the positive control stock solution was measured at test start. pH was not adjusted. The pH was measured in test carboys on day 27 before addition of HCl.
- Aeration of dilution water: Air (50 to 100 ml/min, with CO2 removed) was passed throuigh inoculated test carboys for 24 hours to purge the system of carbon dioxide. During the study, each carboy was agitated with a magnetic stir bar and aerated with CO2-free air at 50 to 100 ml/min.
- Other: A dissolved organic carbon analysis was performed at the start of the studies and on the final day 28.
TEST SYSTEM
- Method used to create aerobic conditions: Continuous purging with carbon dioxide-free air at 50 to 100 ml/min.
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: Each test carboy was equiped with 3 CO2 absorber bottles connected in series each containing 100 ml of 0.0125 M barium hydroxide.
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: Titrations of barium hydroxide trapping solutions as deemed necessary for the first 10 days and twice a week until day 27. Titrations were performed before and after addition of acid to test carboys on the 27th day.
- Sampling method: Barium hydroxide (100 ml) was removed and titrated.
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: Two test carboys served as inoculum blanks.
- Abiotic sterile control: Not used.
- Toxicity control: Not used
STATISTICAL METHODS:
Results were reported as average values for replicate analyses.

% Degradation
- Key result
- Parameter:
- % degradation (CO2 evolution)
- Value:
- 2
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- Total cumulative degradation in both test vessels reached 2% by the end of the study. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) increased in the Test #1 carboy from 15.3835 to 18.0378 mg/L (17.2%) and in Test #2 carboy from 15.5435 to 18.1018 mg/L (16.5%).
BOD5 / COD results
- Results with reference substance:
- The positive control sodium benzoate yielded 77% of the theoretical carbon dioxide evolution over the course of the study. The dissolved organic content of the positive control fell from 20.22 to 0.57 mg/l over the test period. No significant amount of carbon dioxide evolution (<40 mg/l) was evolved from the inoculum blank.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- These results indicate that the test substance is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this study.
- Executive summary:
These results indicate that the test substance is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this study.
