Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
-
EC Number:
485-350-6
EC Name:
-
Cas Number:
405095-33-2
Molecular formula:
C15 H22 N6 O4
IUPAC Name:
bis([amino(phenylamino)methylidene]azanium) hydrate carbonate
Constituent 2
Reference substance name:
(N-phenylcarbamimidoyl)ammonium carbonate
EC Number:
613-106-2
Cas Number:
6291-89-0
IUPAC Name:
(N-phenylcarbamimidoyl)ammonium carbonate
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Phenylguanidine carbonate monohydrate
- Physical state: Solid / grey
- Homogeneity: Homogeneous
- Analytical purity: 100 area-%, determined by HPLC chromatography The identity of the test substance was confirmed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy (BASF report No. 10L00155)
- Lot/batch No.: KG1/511.feucht
-Storage stability: The stability under storage conditions over the exposure period was guaranteed by re-analysis (BASF report No. 10L00155)
- Storage condition of test material: Storage at room temperature
-Water solubility: In a preliminary test the amount of 122.4 mg test substance was added to a 1000 mL volumetric flask. After addition of about 600 mL demineralized water the sample preparation was stirred and made up to the mark. The test substance was completely dissolved, verified by measurement of DOC and TOC.

Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, non-adapted
Details on inoculum:
- Source of inoculum/activated sludge (e.g. location, sampling depth, contamination history, procedure): Municipal activated sludge from the wastewater treatment plant of Mannheim, Germany.
- Storage conditions: aerated in the laboratory until use
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: sieved by finely woven mesh with a mesh size about 1 mm. After settling
the supernatant was discarded and the sludge suspension was filled up with tap water
- Pretreatment: pre-aerated for about 24 hours at room temperature
- Concentration of sludge: The sludge of the suspension was adjusted to a concentration of 6.0 g/L dry weight. Aliquots of 5 mL were added to the test vessels to obtain a sludge concentration of 30 mg/L dry substance.
