- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: ISO Standard 10634
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source: The source of test organisms was activated sludge freshly obtained from a municipal sewage treatment plant: 'Waterschap Aa en Maas', 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, receiving predominantly domestic sewage.
- Treatment: The freshly obtained sludge was kept under continuous aeration until further treatment. The concentration of suspended solids was 2.9 g/l in the concentrated sludge (information obtained from the municipal sewage treatment plant). Before use, the sludge was allowed to settle (50 minutes) and the supernatant liquid was used as inoculum at the amount of 10 ml/l of mineral medium. - Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
- Initial conc.:
- 12 mg/L
- Based on:
- DOC
- Initial conc.:
- 16 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- CO2 evolution
- Details on study design:
- - Composition of medium: 1 litre mineral medium contains: 10 ml of solution (A), 1 ml of solutions (B) to (D) and Milli-RO water
Stock solutions of mineral components
A) 8.50 g KH2PO4; 21.75 g K2HPO4; 67.20 g Na2HPO4.12H2O; 0.50 g NH4Cl; dissolved in Milli-Q water and made up to 1 litre
B) 22.50 g MgSO4.7H2O dissolved in Milli-Q water and made up to 1 litre.
C) 36.40 g CaCl2.2H2O dissolved in Milli-Q water and made up to 1 litre.
D) 0.25 g FeCl3.6H2O dissolved in Milli-Q water and made up to 1 litre.
- Test temperature: between 22.1 and 22.7°C.
- pH:
At t=0 d: 7.6
At t=28 d: 7.5 – 7.8
- pH adjusted: no
- Aeration of dilution water: Not before the test, the test is aerated continously
- Suspended solids concentration: The concentration of suspended solids was 2.9 g/l in the concentrated sludge (information obtained from the municipal sewage treatment plant). Before use, the sludge was allowed to settle (50 minutes) and the liquid was decanted for use as inoculum at the amount of 10 ml/l of mineral medium.
- Continuous darkness: yes
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 2 litre all-glass brown coloured bottles
- Number of culture flasks/concentration:
Test suspension: containing test substance and inoculum (2 bottles).
Inoculum blank: containing only inoculum (2 bottles)
Positive control: containing reference substance and inoculum (1 bottle).
Toxicity control: containing test substance, reference substance and inoculum (1 bottle).
- Method used to create aerobic conditions:
Synthetic air (a mixture of oxygen (ca. 20%) and nitrogen (ca. 80%)) was sparged through the solutions at a rate of approximately 1-2 bubbles per second (ca. 30-100 ml/min).
- Test performed in open system: yes
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used:
CO2 was trapped in barium hydroxide solution. The amount of CO2 produced was determined by titrating the remaining Ba(OH)2 with 0.05 M standardized HCl (1:20 dilution from 1 M HCl (Titrisol® ampul). Titrations were made on days 2, 5, 9, 14, 19, 23, 27 and 29 for the inoculum blank. For the positive and toxicity control, tritrations were made over a period of 14 days.
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: Titration were made on day: 2, 5, 9, 14, 19, 23, 27 and 29
- Sampling method: Titration of the whole volume of CO2-absorber
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: yes
- Toxicity control: yes
- Other: Positive control containing reference substance and inoculum - Reference substance:
- other: sodium acetate
- Key result
- Parameter:
- % degradation (CO2 evolution)
- Value:
- 6
- Sampling time:
- 29 d
- Details on results:
- In the toxicity control more than 25% biodegradation occurred within 14 days (36%, based on ThCO2). Therefore, the test substance was assumed not to inhibit microbial activity.
- Results with reference substance:
- The positive control substance was biodegraded by at least 60% (65%) within 14 days.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the test substance was not readily biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the ready biodegradability of the substance using the CO2 evolution test according to OECD Guideline 301B, EU Method C.4C and ISO DIS Method 9439, under GLP principles. A single test concentration of 12 mg/L (as total organic carbon, TOC) was tested for 28 days. The study consisted of two replicates of inoculum blanks, two replicates of the test bottles and a single bottle for the reference substance (sodium acetate) and a single bottle of the toxicity control. The test solutions were continuously stirred during the test, to ensure optimal contact between the test substance and the test organisms. The relative biodegradation values calculated from the measurements performed during the test period revealed no significant biodegradation of the test substance. In the toxicity control, the test substance was not found to inhibit microbial activity. The study met all acceptability criteria stated in the OECD guideline. Under the study conditions, the test substance was not readily biodegradable (Desmares-Koopmans MJE, 2012).
