- Other:
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: reactor (2000 ml) gas wash flasks with GL14 hole-caps and frit pipes
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 3
- Method used to create aerobic conditions: CO2-free air compressor and a raw of air-tubes (air distributor) with 2 input and 22 output channels, with a specific aeration rate, and through PE-tubes.
- Measuring equipment: inorganic carbon (IC) measurement with a total carbon analyser (TOC-L, Shimadzu) by purging the inorganic carbon with H3PO4 (25%) using a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) detector.
- Test performed in closed vessels due to significant volatility of test substance: YES Gas wash bottle (2000 ml) with lateral connecting pieces for butyl rubber septa
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used:
CO2 trapping for the CO2-free air production: three 1000 mL gas wash bottles filled with dry soda lime in series followed by one bottle filled with 0.1 M NaOH (sodium hydroxide). At the end of the system is one gas wash bottle filled with demineralised water, followed by an empty one to catch any drops of condensation water. A color change of the soda lime from white to blue indicates that the CO2 absorption capacity is depleted.
CO2 trapping during experiments: 2 250 ml gas wash bottles in series each filled with 200ml 0.2 M NaOH.
- Other:
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: before the experimentation D0, D4, D7, D11, D14, D21 and D28
- Sampling method: through the butyl rubber septum with a 5 ml PE syringe

CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM

Reference substance
- Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:

- Test performance:
- The degradation extent in the toxicity control was 41.5% within 14 days. Hence, the test item had no inhibitory effect on the inoculum at the test concentration of 40 mg TOC/L

- Value:
- -5.9
- St. dev.:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- There was no degradation of the test item observed during the test duration. The degradation extent of the test item at the end of the test was -5.6% (mean of three replicates, see table 1 and figure 1).
Therefore the test item did not reach the criteria for ready biodegradability (60% of ThCO2 within a 10-day window).
The degradation extent in the toxicity control was 41.5% within 14 days (see table 1). Hence, the test item had no inhibitory effect on the inoculum at the test concentration of 40 mg TOC/L. - Executive summary:
The biodegradability of “X330” was tested in the CO2 Evolution Test according to OECD 301 B (July 1992). The test item was added via stock solution (10 g/l in water) inoculated with activated sludge, municipal wastewater treatment plant AZV Staufener Bucht, 30 mg dry solids per litre during 28 days. Degradation is followed by determining the carbon dioxide produced and absorbed to sodium hydroxide via IC-measurement (IC = inorganic carbon). The amount of carbon dioxide produced from the test item less the amount derived from the blank inoculum is expressed as a percentage of ThCO2 (theoretical amount of CO2). The pass level for ready biodegradability is 60% of ThCO2 and must be reached within a 10-d window. The 10-d window begins when the degree of biodegradation reaches 10%.
There was no degradation of the test item observed during the test duration. The degradation extent of the test item at the end of the test was -5.6% (mean of three replicates, see table 1 and figure 1).
Therefore the test item did not reach the criteria for ready biodegradability (60% of ThCO2 within a 10-day window).
The degradation extent in the toxicity control was 41.5% within 14 days (see table 1). Hence, the test item had no inhibitory effect on the inoculum at the test concentration of 40 mg TOC/L.
