- TEST CONDITIONS
- Composition of test water:
Analytical grade salts were added to pure water to prepare the following stock solutions:
a) 8.5 g KH2PO4, 21.75 g K2HPO4, 33.4 g Na2HPO4 x 2H2O, 0.5 g NH4Cl filled up with pure water to 1000 mL volume; The pH value was 7.4.
b) 11.25 g MgSO4 x 7H2O filled with pure water to 500 mL volume
c) 18.2 g CaCl2 x 2 H2O filled with pure water to 500 ml volume
d) 0.125 g FeCl3 x6H2O filled with pure water to 500 mL volume. One drop of HCl was added to d) to prevent preciptation of iron hydroxide.
50 mL of stock solution a) and 5 mL of the stock solutions b) to d) were combined and filled up to a final volume of 5000 mL with pure water.
The pH was adjusted to pH 7.4 with NaOH solution.
- Temperature: 22 ± 1 °C
- Light Conditions: Darkness
- pH value of test solutions: 7.5 (start of test), 7.5 to 7.6 (end of test)

- Details on results:
- Biodegradation of Tribasic Copper Sulphate: The biodegradation was followed by the oxygen uptake of the microorganisms during exposure. The degradation rate of tribasic copper sulphate never reached 60% within the 10 day window or after 28 days and therefore can be considered as not biodegradable. The degradation rate remained at 0% throughout the test.
The difference between the duplicate values for the degradation of the test item was less than 20%. The difference of duplicate values at day 28 differed by 0%. The validity criterion was therefore fulfilled. - Results with reference substance:
- The reference item, sodium benzoate was sufficiently degraded to 78% after 14 days and to 81% after 28 days of incubation confirming the suitability of the aerobic activated sludge inoculum used.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The degradation rate of tribasic copper sulphate never reached 60% within the 10 day window or after 28 days. All validity criteria were met in the study. Therefore, tribasic copper sulphate is considered to be not readily biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
The biodegradability of tribasic copper sulphate was determined by a study complying with EC Method C.4 -D and OECD 301 F. The test item was tested in a manometric respirometry test over a period of 28 days. The biodegradation was followed by the oxygen uptake of the microorganisms during exposure.
The degradation rate of tribasic copper sulphate never reached 60% within the 10 day window or after 28 days. The reference item, sodium benzoate was sufficiently degraded to 78% after 14 days and to 81% after 28 days of incubation confirming the suitability of the aerobic activated sludge inoculum used. In the toxicity control which contained both, the test item and the reference item, 77% biodegradation was noted within 14 days and 83% (ThODNH4) biodegradation after 28 days of incubation. The test item can be assumed to be not inhibitory to the aerobic activated sludge microorganisms because degradation was >25% within 14 days.
Overall, from the results obtained, it can be concluded that tribasic copper sulphate is considered to be not readily biodegradable.
Reference
Biodegradation of toxicity control: In the toxicity control which contained both, the test item and the reference item, 77% biodegradation was noted within 14 days and 83% (ThODNH4) biodegradation after 28 days of incubation. The test item can be assumed to be not inhibitory to the aerobic activated sludge microorganisms because degradation was >25% within 14 days.
The pH value of the test item flasks at the end of the test was 7.5 and therefore within the range of pH 6.0 to 8.5 as required by the guideline.
Description of key information
The degradation rate of tribasic copper sulphate never reached 60% within the 10 day window or after 28 days therefore, tribasic copper sulphate 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
