- other: BOD5 has been determined
- Conclusions:
- The BOD5 of FAT 21015/B is: 0 mg O2/g test mat.
- Executive summary:
The biochemical oxygen demand of FAT 21015/B is determined by measuring the dissolved oxygen concentration before and after 5 days incubation at 20 °C in different test concentrations diluted in water saturated with dissolved oxygen that contains a seed of microorganisms. The test substance was tested in concentrations from about 6 to 800 mg/l. The reference substance D(+)-Glucose / L-Glutamic acid was tested in a concentration of 20 ml/I. Based on the findings from the study, the BOD5 of FAT 21015 is 0 mg O2/g test mat while that of refernce substance (Glucose/Glutamic acid solution) is 193 mg O2/I.

- Executive summary:
A predeterminated amount of FAT 21015/B dissolved in water is oxidized by potassium dichromate in a strong sulphuric acid medium with silver sulphate as a catalyst under reflux for 2 h. The residual dichromate is determined by titration with standardized ferrous ammonium sulphate. The test was carried out according to DEV DIN 38'409 - H 41-1 (1980) corresponding to 92/96/EEC C.6. The test substance was tested with a sample weight of 2.5 mg. The reference substance Potassium hydrogen phthalate solution was tested in a concentration of 20 ml/I. Based on the findings, the COD of FAT 21015/B was determined as 1289 mg O2/g.

Description of key information
A study was performed to determine the ready biodegradation of FAT 21015/B. The Chemical Oxygen Demand of FAT 21015/B was determined to be 1289 mg/g O2, whereas the Biological Oxygen Demand of FAT 21015/B was determined to be 0 mg/g O2. In the supporting studies, the Chemical Oxygen Demand of FAT 21015/A was determined to be 1120 mg/g O2, whereas the Biological Oxygen Demand of FAT 21015/A was determined to be 82 mg/g O2.
The relevant BOD5/COD quotient is <0.5 , therefore the substance is not indicative of rapid degradation. Taking these data into consideration, FAT 21015 is considered to be not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Type of water:
- freshwater
