Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
Details on inoculum:
- Source of inoculum/activated sludge (e.g. location, sampling depth, contamination history, procedure): Municipal activated sludge from treatment plant of the city Mannheim/Baden Wuerttemberg (Germany). Concentration of the activated sludge suspension = 6.0 g/l of dry weight. It was then added to the test vessels to obtain a sludge concentration of 30 mg/l dry substance
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: the activated sludge was sieved and pre-aerated for 48 hours before the test starts.
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Initial test substance concentration
Initial conc.:
25 mg/L
Based on:
test mat.
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
