- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge: A fresh sample of activated sludge was collected from the aeration tank of Shenyang North Sewage Treatment Plant.
- Method of cultivation: Coarse particles were removed by filtration through a fine sieve and the sample was settled. After the supernatant was discarded, the sludge was washed twice with mineral medium and the concentrated sludge was suspended in mineral medium. 4 replicates of 10 mL suspended sludge was weighed and dried at 105 °C for 2 hours and 7 minutes and reweighed to calculate initial sludge concentration (4 g/L).

- Storage length: 5 days
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: 10 mL sludge were weighed and dried at 105 °C for about 1 hour and 35 minutes and reweighed (3306 mg/L). Mineral medium (991 mL) was added to a 1 L flask, followed by the addition of 9.0 mL of the prepared activated sludge and the mixture was made up to volume to give a concentration of about 30 mg/L.

TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 1 L flask
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 2 test substance, 2 inoculum blank control, 1 reference substance
- Measuring equipment: CES, U.K.Co-ordinated Environmental Services Ltd.
- Details of trap for CO2: The reference chamber contained air and was used as a reference pressure. The electrolyte bottle was filled with 45 mL of 25% (w/v) CUSO4 • 5H2O solution and 2 - 3 g CuO, fitted into the probe housing and tightened. The magnetic stirring rods were inserted into each flask, the CO2 trap cuvettes were filled with 4 mL of 10 mol/L NaOH solution and pushed onto the sensor head. CO2 trap cuvettes were inserted into the neck of each sample flask to absorb carbon dioxide produced metabolically by bacteria. The test flasks were attached to the sensor head. The assembled sensor head and sample flasks were immersed in the water bath (22 °C ±1 °C).

- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- In the Toxicity Control (TC) test mixture, 43.9 % degradation occurred within 14 days and the value exceeded 25 % based on total ThOD, which indicated that the test item can be assumed to be not inhibitory under the conditions of this test.

- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The ready biodegradability of the test substance was investigated according to the OECD guideline 301F. Under the test conditions, the test substance was found to be not readily biodegradable over the test period of 28 days. Furthermore, the test substance showed no inhibitory effect on the microorganisms. At the end of the test, the test substance did not reach the 10 % level of degradation.
- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradability of the test substance was investigated in accordance with the OECD guideline 301 F: Ready Biodegradability: Manometric Respirometry Test (1992). The biodegradation of the test substance was followed by exposing it to microorganisms from sewage (predominantly domestic, non-adapted) over 28 days. The method assesses the ready biodegradability of a test substance under aerobic conditions at 22 ± 1°C in diffuse light. During this period the biodegradation was determined on the basis of the reduction of dissolved oxygen. The degree of biodegradation was calculated by the amount of oxygen taken up by the test substance (corrected for that in the blank inoculum control) as a percentage of ThOD or BOD. As a reference compound (functional control control), 57.65 mg/L of sodium benzoate was tested simultaneously under the same conditions. In the toxicity control, the test substance showed no inhibitory effect on the microorganisms at the test concentrations of 36.8 and 58.24 mg/L. In the functional controls, the reference compound sodium bemnzoate was readily biodegraded by an average of 89 % after 28 days of exposure. At the end of the test (28 days), the test substance was biodegraded by an average of 3 % (2 replicates). Therefore, for the test substance no biodegradation was observed under the test conditions.
Reference
The following validity criteria were met by this test:
1) The oxygen uptake of the inoculum blank was 23.20 mg O2/L in 28 days, which did not exceed 60 mg O2/L.
2) The pH values were in the range of 7.46 - 7.69 (within the range 6 - 8.5).
3) The difference of extremes of replicate values of the removal of the test item at the end of the test was 4.2 % less than 20 %, which is specified criterion in test guideline.>
4) The percentage degradation of the reference item reached 61.1% after day 6, and was 64.8% after day 14 which exceeded the required pass level (the percentage degradation of reference item after day 14 > 60 %).
5) In Toxicity Control (TC) test mixture, containing both test item and reference item, 26.1 % ThOD degradation occurred within 3 days and 43.9 % ThOD within 14 days based on total ThOD. Since these values exceeded the 25 % ThOD limit for (test item) toxicity, it was concluded that the test item is not inhibitory to sludge micro-organisms.

Additional information
The ready biodegradability of the test substance was investigated in accordance with the OECD guideline 301 F: Ready Biodegradability: Manometric Respirometry Test (2017). The biodegradation of the test substance was followed by exposing it to microorganisms from sewage (predominantly domestic, non-adapted) over 28 days. The method assesses the ready biodegradability of a test substance under aerobic conditions at 22 ± 1°C in diffuse light. During this period the biodegradation was determined on the basis of the reduction of dissolved oxygen. The degree of biodegradation was calculated by the amount of oxygen taken up by the test substance (corrected for that in the blank inoculum control) as a percentage of ThOD or BOD. As a reference compound (functional control control), 57.65 mg/L of sodium benzoate was tested simultaneously under the same conditions.
