% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (DOC removal)
Value:
96
Sampling time:
22 d
Details on results:
- abiotic elimination control (w/o inoculum, w mercury chloride to avoid microbial degradation): 0 % (22 d)
- adsorption control (w inoculum, w mercury chloride): 0 % (22 d)
- inhibition control (test substance/reference substance: each 20 mg/L DOC): 90 % (22 d)
Kinetic of test substance (in %):
= 0 after 1 day(s)
= 24 after 3 day(s)
= 71 after 7 day(s)
= 94 after 14 day(s)
= 96 after 18 day(s)
Kinetic of control substance (in %):
= 23 after 3 day(s)
