Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method C.4-D (Determination of the "Ready" Biodegradability - Manometric Respirometry Test)
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 301 F (Ready Biodegradability: Manometric Respirometry Test)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge (adaptation not specified)
- Details on inoculum:
- - Type: mixed population of aquatic microorganisms (activated sludge)
- Origin: aeration tank of a wastewater plant treating predominantly domestic sewage (Wupper area water authority, WWTP Odenthal)
- Date of collection: 2017-10-17
- Concentration of inoculum: 30 mg/L suspended solids
Pre-treatment of the inoculum
- Before use, the inoculum was stored for two days at room temperature under continuous stirring with aeration.
- The sludge was washed twice by adding mineral medium and centrifuging for 10 min at 2000 rpm and 20 °C and decanting off the supernatant.
- An aliquot of the wet sludge was dried in order to determine the wet weight / dry weight ratio of the sludge and to prepare a stock suspension (activated sludge) of 3 g dw/L.
- The calculated amount of sludge, needed to achieve 300 mL of this stock suspension, was dissolved in mineral medium and then filled up to a defined end volume. - Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
- Initial conc.:
- 100 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- O2 consumption
- Details on study design:
- Exposure conditions
- Test volume: 250 mL
- Test apparatus: OxiTopControl System (WTW)
- Test design: inoculum blank (3 replicates), test item (3 replicates), reference compound (2 replicates), toxicity control (1 replicate)
- Mixing: 1 magnetic stirrer per test vessel
- Incubation time: 28 days
- Incubation temperature: 22 +- 1 °C
Pre-treatment of the test item
- 25 mg of the test item were weighed out and added to the test flasks, filled with 200 mL of mineral medium
- the volume was made up to 250 mL with mineral medium containing the inoculum to give a test concentration of 100 mg test item/L
Pre-treatment of the reference compound
- 25 mg of the reference compound were weighed and added to the test flasks, filled with 200 mL of mineral medium
- the volume was made up to 250 mL with mineral medium containing the inoculum to give a test concentration of 100 mg reference compound /L
Pre-treatment of the toxicity control
- 25 mg of the test item and 25 mg of the reference compound were weighed out and added to the test flasks, filled with 200 mL of mineral medium
- the flask volume was made up to 250 mL with mineral medium containing the inoculum to give a test concentration of 100 mg test item and reference compound/L - Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
- Remarks:
- Acros Organics, purity: 99.9 %, batch no. A0357641
- Parameter:
- % degradation (O2 consumption)
- Value:
- 0
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- The oxygen consumed by nitrification was not determined at the end of the study, because no degradation of the test item was observed and the correction for oxygen uptake by nitrification would not have an influence on the results.
- Results with reference substance:
- The reference compound sodium benzoate showed 94 % degradation after 14 days.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- biodegradation reference compound ≥ 60 % within 14 d; degradation toxicity control > 25 % within 14 d; biodegradation in parallels with test item <= 20 %; oxygen uptake of inoculum blank was <= 60 mg/L; pH values independent
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- After 28 d no biodegradation (0 %) was observed for Solvent Violet 13. Therefore, it is considered to be "Not readily biodegradable".
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of Solvent Violet 13 in accordance with the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.4-D “Manometric Respirometry Test“(2008). This test method is in all essential parts identical with OECD Guideline 301 F (adopted July 1992).
A suspension of 100 mg/L Solvent Violet 13 in a mineral medium was inoculated and incubated at a constant temperature (22 +- 1 °C) for 28 d under aerobic conditions in the dark. During this period, degradation was followed by continuous automated BOD determinations.
The endogenous activity of the inoculum was checked running parallel blanks with inoculum but without test item. A reference compound (sodium benzoate) was run in parallel to check the operation of the procedures. A toxicity control (test item and reference compound mixed, one replicate) was run in parallel, to ensure that the chosen concentration of the test item was not inhibitory to microorganisms. Determinations of test item and inoculum blank were carried out in triplicate and of reference compound in duplicate.
At the end of incubation, the pH was measured in the flasks.
Solvent Violet 13 showed 0 % degradation after 28 days. Therefore, Solvent Violet 13 is considered to be “Not Readily Biodegradable“.
The reference compound sodium benzoate showed 94 % degradation after 14 days.
The test item is an N-containing substance. Therefore, the concentration of nitrite and nitrate was determined at the start of the test. The oxygen consumed by nitrification was not determined after 28 days, because no degradation of the test item was observed.
