4 Method Overview
A.1 Principle
A certain amount of inoculum is added to the test medium containing the test substance, and the test solution is stirred and aerated for 28 days at 20℃～25℃ in scattered light or darkness. Samples are collected at regular intervals, and the DOC or COD content in the samples is determined. The biodegradation rate is expressed as the removal rate of DOC or COD (after correction of the null value). The biodegradation rate of the test substance is plotted against the corresponding time points, which is the biodegradation curve. If the test substance undergoes biodegradation, 4.2 Reference substances
In order to detect the activity of activated sludge, each test needs to be set up in parallel with substances with known biodegradability as reference substances. This standard recommends ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dodecyl disodium tartrate or aniline (activated by distillation) as reference substances. If these reference substances are used, the DOC or COD removal rate of these substances within 14 days should not be

Under special circumstances, in order to obtain the best river water, etc.) to get the end sample to mix, and in the culture medium to blast until use, with the high purity of the reference material Remove the high-purity water or steamed stuffing water. In order to reduce the voidage value, the organic carbon content in the water should be relatively low. Use analytically pure reagents to prepare the following solutions:
a) Phosphoric acid solution: weigh 8.50g potassium dinitrogen phosphate (KHPO.), 21.75g ​​potassium dihydrogen phosphate (K,HPO), 33.40g dihydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4·2HO) and 0.5g ammonium chloride (NH,CI) and dissolve them in water to make up to 1L, and the pH value is 7.4.
b) Calcium chloride solution: weigh 27.50g anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) or 36.40g monohydrate calcium chloride (CaCl2·2H2O), dissolve them in water, and make up to 1L.
Magnesium sulfate solution: weigh 22.50 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO47H2SO4), dissolve it in water, and make up to 1 L. )
d) Ferric chloride solution: weigh 0.25 g of ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl26H2O4), dissolve it in water, and make up to 1 L. Add 0.05 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid or 0.4 g/L of disodium salt of EDTA to buffer and store. If precipitation occurs in the above stock solution, it needs to be freshly prepared. 2
5. 4. 2 Preparation of test medium
GB/T 21816—2008
Mix 10 mL of phosphate buffer in 5.1.1 with 800 mL of test water, and then add 1 mL each of calcium chloride solution, magnesium sulfate solution and ferric chloride solution to make up to 1 L. 6 Experimental Procedure
6.1 Group Design
Usually, the following groups need to be set up in the experiment: a) Test group containing the test substance and inoculum
b) Empty control group containing only the inoculum of the inoculum; c) Process control group containing the reference substance and inoculum6.2 Experimental Procedure
Before the experiment begins, the regulatory effect of the test substance on the active substance at the test concentration should be determined by the method of language interpretation. If an inhibitory effect is found, the concentration of the test substance should be reduced to a level that does not produce an inhibitory effect

28 days sampling, the ladder of the body ... At the same time, the data on the solution are collected. Purify the solution with pure humid air for a period of time, adjust the pH value to 6.5, ensure that the content contains 50mg/L-g/L of DOC inoculum (intentionally), and the volume of the inoculum and the test medium is 1 L-5. At the same time, set up a sterilized, uninoculated test solution with the test substance instead of the test substance. Stir the test gas and ensure that the test concentration is not lower than 1mg/L for a certain period of time. The type of instrument is the test time. If the test is completed at the end of the test, the test time is 15 minutes.
For example, samples are collected from the last two days of the 1st to 27th day period, and DOC or COD analysis must be performed additionally (e.g., every day) to determine whether the activated sludge is in the process of oxidization.
If more information is needed about the behavior of the activated sludge, the sludge can be re-exposed to the test medium, that is, stirring and aeration are stopped to allow the activated sludge to settle, the supernatant is discarded, the culture is cultured to the original volume, stirred for 15 minutes, and the above operation is repeated. Alternatively, the activated sludge can be separated by centrifugation instead of sedimentation. The sludge treated above needs to be re-tested. If the amount of treated sludge does not meet the requirement of 0.2 g/L to 1 g/L (thick weight), fresh sludge can be added to it. 6.4 Analytical method
Filter the collected sludge supernatant samples (including the test blank control group and the process control group) and discard the first 5 ml of the filtrate. Carefully cleaned filter paper or filter membrane should be used for filtration, and it must be ensured that the filter paper or filter membrane used neither releases nor adsorbs organic compounds. If it is uncertain, the filter membrane should be rinsed three times with deionized water or distilled water at about 60°C to remove soluble organic matter. The purified filter membrane can be stored in water. Difficult-to-filter sludge can be separated by centrifugation or other suitable separation techniques. DOC or COD determination is performed on the samples after filtration or separation by appropriate methods, and repeated twice. Primary biodegradability requires specific methods (such as ultraviolet spectroscopy) to analyze the test substance. If the sample cannot be analyzed on the day of sampling, the sample can be stored at 2°C~4°C for 48h or at 18°C ​​for a longer period of time, but it is not recommended to store it for a long time. 7 Quality Assurance and Quality Control
7.1 If the removal rate of the reference substance reaches 70% within 14 days or the DOC and COD in the test suspension are gradually removed every day and every week (which indicates the occurrence of biodegradation), the test is effective. h
GB/T 21816-~2008
7.2 The determination range of DOC is usually 0.5 mg/L~1 mg/L (in terms of C), and the determination range of COD is generally 15 mg/L (in terms of O). 8 Data and Reporting
8.1 Data Processing
Calculate the biodegradation rate at time t using formula (1): 0,

D,——biodegradation rate at time t, expressed in %: LLE
cA....3h±0.5h incubation period after the DOC or COD value of the test suspension, in grams per liter (mg/L); c: the average value of DOC or COD in the test suspension at time t, in grams per liter (mg/L); C——3h±0.5h incubation period, the average value of DOC or COD in the blank control, in milligrams per liter (mg/L): ca-time: the average value of DOC or COD in the blank control, in milligrams per liter (mg/L). (1)
The calculation method of the biodegradation rate of the reference material is the same as above. Draw a biodegradation process curve (as shown in Appendix A) and record all results in the data table.
In some cases, complete or significant degradation occurs within 3 h after the start of the test, and the difference between the blank and the test solution is unexpectedly small, indicating that physicochemical adsorption plays a role. In this case, the value after 3 h can be compared with the initial value calculated from the amount of test substance and the value measured before the addition of the supplement to obtain additional information. If the exact distinction between biodegradation (or partial degradation) and adsorption is to be known, further tests are required. It is more appropriate to use suspended degraded sludge as an inoculum for rapid respirable biodegradation tests.
When the degradation rate of the test substance is very low or even zero, it may be due to the inhibitory effect of the test substance on the microorganisms. In this case, microbial toxicity tests at the test concentrations should be carried out to exclude this possibility. 8.2 Report of results
