- Test principle of the Manometric Respirometry Test
The Manometric Respirometry Test is a static method for testing the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of a test substance in water . Mixtures of the test substance, a defined inorganic medium and an inoculum, which is not pre-adapted (e.g. activated sludge or effluent of a municipal or laboratory waste water treatment plant), are incubated and aerated in a respirometer (Sapromat) at room temperature up to 28 days regulary . The oxygen used for the biodegradation of the test substance (biochemical oxygen demand, BOD) is continuously produced and measured by the test apparatus .
In addition to the test substance the following investigations are required : blank values (BC), bio-degradation of a reference substance (RS), inhibition of the inoculum (IH) and abiotic elimination (PC).
Evaluation of Test Results
~ The biochemical oxygen demand gives unequivocal evidence for biodegradation . The measured BOD is compared with the calculated theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) or the measured chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the test substance and indicated as biodegradation degree in per cent . Since the micro-organisms oxidize only part of the test substance and incorporate the rest as biomass, substances with a degree of >60 % biodegradation are considered to be sufficiently biodegradable. The relation BOD to ThOD or COD is classified as follows :
>60 % in 10 days "readily biodegradable (OECD criteria)"
>60 % "biodegradable"
20-60% "in this test moderately or partly biodegradable"
<20% "in this test poorly biodegradable"
One of the OECD criteria for ready biodegradable substances is the threshold value of 60% biodegradation within a period of 10 days during a total test period of 28 days . If a test substance is biodegradable in this test, it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded in the environment, especially in wastewater treatment plants and surface
waters. If insufficient biodegradation was measured, the test substance may nevertheless be inherently biodegradable . This has to be shown by further investigations . - Reference substance:
