Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, industrial (adaptation not specified)
Details on inoculum:
- Source of inoculum/activated sludge : domestic wastewater treatment plant
- Laboratory culture: raw sewage collected from the primary settling tank was used as the influent during acclimation period and test periods;
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: At the end of the acclimation period, sludge from all units was pooled and mixed. Adequate amount was added to each unit to achieve a suspended solids concentration of 1500 mg/L for each unit. 1 mg carbon/100 ml influent was added to the appropriate test units.
- Pretreatment: The acclimation process included aeration for 23 hours, settling of sludge, removing 100 ml of supernatant and resuming aeration to 500 mg/minute. The units were fed raw sewage daily till a clear supernatant liquor was obtained.
Concentration of test chemical: From day 1 to day 8, 20 mg carbon/l was introduced into the test unit. This was reduced to 10 mg carbon/l from day 8 on. No organic solvents were used to facilitate the dispersion of the test material. The test substance was weighed onto a teflon coupon and introduced into the medium.
Duration of test (contact time):
44 d
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:

Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (DOC removal)
Value:
< 10
Sampling time:
44 d
Details on results:
Thes study was extended to 44 days to determine if acclimation and biodegradation would increase in this time frame.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
other: <10% after 44 days
Conclusions:
The test substance showed a low biodegradation rate of less than 10% after 44 days. The sodium salt of ATBS was not considered to be readily biodegradable.
