BOD5 / COD results

Results with reference substance:
Aniline's BOD(%) after 7 days was 49% and passed the criteria ( 7days >40%)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

% degradation from BOD was 38, 45, and 45 % (ave. 43 %), % degratation from test material analysis was >=99 %, and % degration from DOC residue was 58, 56, and 56 % (ave. 57 %). Another peak except the test substance was detected in GC chromatogram and the peak was determined to be Cyclopropanol by 1H-NMR, GC/MS analysis. Therefore 1-Cyclopropylethanone is deemed to be not readily biodegradable and to remain as Cycropropanol.
