Test material information

Constituent 1

Reference substance name:

Reaction product of 2-hydroxyethylacrylate with imidazole

EC Number:

926-135-3

Cas Number:

1181222-25-2

Molecular formula:

not applicable

IUPAC Name:

Reaction product of 2-hydroxyethylacrylate with imidazole

Study design

Oxygen conditions:

aerobic

Inoculum or test system:

activated sludge, non-adapted

Details on inoculum:

Municipal activated sludge from the wastewater treatment plant of Mannheim, Germany.
The inoculum was collected on 11 January 2017 from the aeration tank of the plant. A
suitable aliquot of the activated sludge suspension was sieved by a finely woven mesh
with a mesh size about 1 mm

Duration of test (contact time):

28 d

Details on study design:

The Carbon Dioxide Evolution Test was performed in 2 L incubation bottles filled up to a volume of 1.5 L. The bottles were connected to two serial scrubbing bottles (total volume 250 mL) filled with 100 mL 0.05 mol sodium hydroxide solution for the adsorption of carbon dioxide from biodegradation processes. Usually twice a week the Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) values of the adsorption solutions of the first trap were determined and used for the calculation of the produced carbon dioxide. After each sampling the second trap was moved forward and the new trap with fresh sodium hydroxide solution was placed into the second position. Each trap was analyzed separately.
