The activated sludge was thoroughly mixed prior to sampling for solids content determination. The mean solids content of the sludge was determined as 3 g/L (preliminary test) and 3.4 g/L (main test).
After solids determination, the sludge was allowed to settle for at least 30 min prior to a sample of the supernatant being withdrawn for use as the test microbial inoculum. - Duration of test (contact time):

- Suspended solids concentration: The mean solids content of the sludge was determined as 3 g/L (preliminary test) and 3.4 g/L (main test).
- Continuous darkness: Yes, each bioreactor was covered with foil to block out light.
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: A total of 7 bioreactors (2 litre capacity) were used; 2 each for control (C1 and C2) and test item (T4 and T5) and one each for the reference item (R3), toxicity control (TC6) and abiotic control (AC7).
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 2
- Method used to create anaerobic conditions: A totally sealed system was constructed and supplied on a positive pressure basis by CO2 free air.
- Measuring equipment: CO2 was removed by passing through self-indicating soda lime granules (Chemosorb) contained in a 2 litre capacity glass aspirator. The CO2-free air was passed through a glass manifold via an air tap, to allow fine control of airflow. The air was also passed through a secondary tube of Chemosorb prior to the bioreactor. The flow-rate in each bioreactor was adjusted to be in the range 30-100 mL/min.
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: Each bioreactor was connected to 3 traps, each containing 100 mL of 0.0125M Ba(OH)2. At trap collection the trap closest to the bioreactor was taken for titration and the 2 remaining traps were moved one place closer to the bioreactor. A new trap containing freshly prepared Ba(OH)2 was then placed third in line from the bioreactor.
Trap changes were conducted on Days 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 14, 19, 24 and 29. During these trap changes the air supply was switched off for ca 15 min, each of the bioreactors being disconnected for approximately 30 s while a new trap was added. All sampled traps were sealed immediately after collection.
Each sampled trap was then titrated with a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator solution against 0.05M HCl, utilising the colour change pink to colourless.
- Other:
A 1 g/L stock solution of the reference item was prepared by dissolving sodium benzoate (0.4998 g) in 500 mL of deionised water. Aliquots of this stock (69 mL) were added to each appropriate bioreactor to give an addition rate of 20 mg DOC/L.
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
To prepare the control, test, reference and toxicity control bioreactors 1600 mL of mineral medium and 20 mL of microbial inoculum were added to each bioreactor and then purged with CO2-free air overnight. The appropriate weight of test item and/or volume of reference item stock were then added to the appropriate bioreactors. Finally, the bioreactors were made up to a final volume of 2000 mL with CO2-free mineral medium.
The abiotic control was prepared in an identical manner to the other bioreactors, without the addition of microbial inoculunm. A sterilising agent (Formaldehyde [37% formalin]) was also added to the bioreactor to ensure any degradation exhibited was not attributable to a microbial population.
Details of bioreactor preparation are given below:

STATISTICAL METHODS:
Calculation of Results:
The weight of CO2 evolved was calculated from the titre. The actual titre for each batch of Ba(OH)2 prepared was used for the background titre value. The mean titre value for the test, reference and control vessels were calculated and subjected to the following equation:
Weight CO2 produced (mg) = 1.1 x (background titre - ml HCl titrated)
The net CO2 production was then calculated by subtracting the control mean CO2 production value from the test and reference item CO2 production values.
The percentage biodegradation was calculated by comparing the actual CO2 evolved in test and reference vessels with the theoretical CO2 evolution.
This was calculated from the molecular weight and empirical formula of the test or reference item, as appropriate:
% Degradadtion = (mg CO2 produced / (ThCO2 x mg test substance added)) x 100
It is not possible to estimate time required for 50% biodegradation of the test item if this level of degradation is not achieved in the test. The test item is considered to be readily biodegradable if a transition from 10% to 60% (or greater) biodegradation is observed in a 10 day window during the 28 day test period.
For a valid test, the reference item should be shown to be readily biodegradable. Differences between replicate bioreactors should not exceed 20% of the mean at the end of the test, or the 10 day window.

% Degradation
- Parameter:
- % degradation (CO2 evolution)
- Value:
- 10.5
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- The test item did not exhibit any notable biodegradation, the cumulative biodegradation at Day 29 was 10.5%. WRS-2390TX was therefore not readily biodegradable, under the conditions of the test.
The test item is not considered to be inhibitory to the microbial inoculum as >25% biodegradation (36.8%) was observed in the toxicity control bioreactor (test and reference items) on Day 14.
The total CO2 evolution in the control bioreactors was <40 mg/L (9.15 mg/L) at Day 29. Differences between replicate test bioreactors were within 20% of the mean (± 7.6%) at Day 29.
The test item exhibited only negligible abiotic degradation (1.6%) by the end of the test.
The pH of the bioreactors on Day 28 did not indicate any significant trends in the test.
The IC content of the test item solution as a percentage of the TC was calculated as 2.3%.
