Constituent 1
Study design
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge, non-adapted
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge: municipal sewage treatment plant: Waterschap de Maaskant, s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands.
- The sludge was kept under continous aeration until furhter treatment. The concentration of suspended solids was 4.8 g/l in the concentrated sludge (information obtained from the municipal sewage treatment plant). Before use, the sludge was allowed to settle for at least 30 minutes and the liquid decanted for use as inoculum at the amount of 10 ml/l of mineral medium. - Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
Initial test substance concentration
- Initial conc.:
- 12 mg/L
- Based on:
- other: Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- CO2 evolution
- Details on study design:
- TEST CONDITIONS
- Composition of medium: Grade salts were added to deionised water to give stock solutions. Stock solutions were diluted in deionised water, aerated overnight with CO2 free air.
- Test temperature: 20-22°C
- pH: 7.6 (sample A) and 7.5 (sample B)
- pH adjusted: no
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: The test was started by bubbling CO2-free air through the solution at a rate of approx. 1-2 bubbles per second; a temporary breakdown in the aeration (<1 day) was noted on day 10. However, this breakdown was considered to have no effect on the outcome of this study.
- Measuring equipment:
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: The CO2 produced in each test bottle reacted with the barium hydroxide in the gas scrubbing bottle and precipitated out as barium carbonate. The amount of CO2 produced was determined by titrating the remaining Ba(OH)2 wiht 0.05 M standardized HCL.
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: Titrations were made every second or third day during the first 10 days, and thereafter at least every fifth day until the 28th day.
- Sampling method: Each time the CO2-absorber nearest to the test bottle was removed for titration; each of the remaining two absorbers was moved one position in the direction of the test bottle. A new CO2-absorber was placed at the far end of the series. Phenolphthalein was used as pH-indicator. On the 28th day, the pH of the test suspensions was measured and 1 ml of concentrated HCl was added to each bottle. The bottles were aerated overnight to drive off CO2 present in the test suspension. The final titration was made on day 29

Results and discussion
% Degradation
- Parameter:
- % degradation (CO2 evolution)
- Value:
- >= 2.8 - <= 6.6
- Sampling time:
- 29 d
- Details on results:
- The total CO2 evolution in the inoculum blank at the end of the test did not normally exceed 40 mg/l. If values greater than 70 mg CO2/l are obtained, the data and experimental technique should be examined critically; the difference of duplicate values for the %-degradation of the test substance at the plateau, at the end of the test or at the end of the 10 day window, as appropriate, was less than 20
BOD5 / COD results
- Results with reference substance:
- The percentage degradation of the reference substance reached the level for ready biodegradability (60%) by 14 days
Any other information on results incl. tables
Equation for the calculation of mg of CO2 produced:
The amount of 0.05 N HCl titrated is converted into mg of CO2 produced:
mg CO2 = (0.05 * ml HCl titrated)/2 * 44 = 1.1 * ml of HCl titrated
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- TH 1165 II was not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the modified Sturm test presently performed.
