STATISTICAL METHODS:
VESSELS:
2 L flasks (dark brown glass) equipped with gas inlet and magnetic stirrer.
RECONSTITUTED WATER:
The reconstituted water was prepared according to the method described in the guideline.
TEMPERATURE:
20 ± 2°C
DURATION:
29 days
AIR:
≡ 25 ml/min purified from carbon dioxide.
CO2 –SCRUBBERS:
Approx. 250 ml scrubbers with gas inlet tubes equipped with sintered glass tips containing 250 ml 0.05N sodium hydroxide.
DEVIATION:
Only one CO2 scrubber was used per test bottle. Theoretically, a solution of 0.05N NaOH is sufficient to trap at least two times more CO2 than the maximum ThCO2 which can evolve in each test bottle (including CO2 possibly evolved from the bacteria e.g., endogenous respiration). Moreover, experimentally it was confirmed that no measurable CO2 carry over has ever occurred with the scrubbers used.
FLASKS:
Flasks 1 and 2: test medium and inoculum (inoculum blank)
Flask 3 and 4: reference substance and inoculum (procedure control)
Flask 5 and 6: test item and inoculum
Flask 7: reference substance, test item and inoculum (control of toxicity and inhibition of the bacteria’s activity by the tests substance)
Flask 8: dist. Water
TEST CONCENTRATION:
Test item: Replicate 1: 38.4 mg test item/1.5L = 14.9 mg ThOC/L
Replicate 2: 38.6 mg test item/1.5L = 15.0 mg ThOC/L
Reference substance: 15 mg DOC/L
For the toxicity control, where the test item and reference were applied together, the reference amount was 15.0mg DOC/L and the test item was 15.2 mg ThOC/L.
Before application, the inoculum was pre-acclimated to the test medium over-night. The aeration was performed inside 1.2L water, containing the amount of mineral salts for 1.5L.
The final volume was made up to 1.5L with 300 ml mixture made from the test item (the above mentioned amount) in bidistilled water. This mixture was homogenized by ultrasonification for 1 minute and added to the test vessel, which was immediately connected to the CO2 scrubber.
DURATION AND SAMPLING:
The test duration was 29 days. During this time the evolved CO2 trapped by the 0.05 N NaOH solution of the blank and test item was measured at 0, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 29 days.
The last measurement was performed after acidification of the test medium wit 1 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid.
ANALYTICAL DEVICE:
At each samplingday the CO2 trapped in the scrubbers was measurred as inorganic carbon with a carbon analyzer. (Shimadzu TOC-5050 A)
Reference substance
- Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
Results and discussion
- Test performance:
- The cumulative amount of CO2 in the blank flasks were 37.8 and 37.4 mg/1.5L, equivalent to 10.3 and 10.2 mg TOC/1.5L.
The total CO2 evolution in the inoculum blank at the end of the test did not exceed 60mg/1.5L.
These results show that the test system was working properly and no CO2 leaks were present.
% Degradation
- Parameter:
- % degradation (CO2 evolution)
- Value:
- ca. 78
BOD5 / COD results
- Results with reference substance:
- The bidegradation of the reference substance reached the level for ready biodegradablility in a 10-day window. After 10 days on incubation 91 % of the reference compound sodium benzoate, had degraded, therefore the test is valid.

Negative degradation values, when obtained in a test, are a consequence of the comparison of values obtained in the blank (edogenous respiration leading to a carbon dioxide evolution) and the low values obtained in the presence of the test item.
