This set of materials can become the alternative to conventional plastics, which remain stable for hundreds of years and are a well-known source of plastic pollution. As biodegradable plastics are presented as an environmentally friendly alternative, BPC sees excellent business opportunities within the biodegradability evaluation of plastics. BPC’s ...
The presence of antibiotics in drinking water and wastewater has not been widely studied because the sanitary engineering sector mainly focuses on the removal of organic matter and nutrients. There is a lack of environmental regulations for pollutants like antibiotics. Batch tests analyse biodegradability to measure the anaerobic degradation potential of the substrate, or they can be used as ...
The analyzed response variables were the solubilization of organic matter, and the biodegradability of the lignocellulose hydrolysate. The statistical analysis of the data allowed the identification of the experimental conditions that maximized solubilization of organic matter and biodegradability. ...
This paper taking a full-scale coking wastewater (CWW) treatment plant as a case study aimed to characterize removal behaviors of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by UV spectra and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix-parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), and investigate the correlations between spectroscopic indices and water quality parameters. ...
Cyanobacterial blooms in Thailand waters contain microcystin (MC) hepatotoxins that are a risk to animal and human health. The biodegradation of MCs is a safe and natural method of removal from water. The [Dha7] MC-LR was purified by chromatography, identified by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and used for examining the ...
The OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals lists seven types of tests for determining the biodegradability of chemical compounds (301A–F and 310). In this study, we compared the biodegradation performance of test guideline (TG) 301C, which is applied in Japan's Chemical Substances Control Law, with the performance of the other six RBTs listed in the ...
For this reason the aim of this paper is to present an impact of Mn, Cu, Co and Mo quantities on oil biodegradation effectiveness in coastal soil and to determine the relationship between metal concentrations and degradation of two oil products (black oil and diesel fuel). ...
