RS-Freetext:
Preliminary investigations:
ThOC: 713 mg/g
ThOD: 2632 mg/g

Main study:
Degree of degradation of the reference substance in the inhibition control after 14 d: 50 - 60 % BOD/ThOD
Degree of degradation of the test substance in the abiotic control after 28 d: 0 - 10 % BOD/ThOD
Duration of adaptation phase: ca. 1 d
Duration of degradation phase: ca. 25 d

Kinetic of test substance (in %):
= 11 after 2 day(s)
= 27 after 7 day(s)
= 38 after 14 day(s)
= 45 after 21 day(s)
= 49 after 28 day(s)
