19、 convertedto CO2or methane, either directly, by measuring the produc-tion of CO2or methane, or indirectly, by measuring theconsumption of O2.3.1.14.1 DiscussionThe measurement of new biomass isnot attempted.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Biodegradation of a lubricant or the component(s) of alubricant

20、is measured by collecting and measuring the CO2produced when the lubricant or component is exposed tomicroorganisms under controlled aerobic aquatic conditions.This value is then compared to the theoretical amount of CO2which could be generated if all of the carbon in the test materialwere converted

21、 to CO2.CO2is a product of aerobic microbialmetabolism of carbon-containing substances and so is a directmeasure of the test substances ultimate biodegradation. CO2production is quantified by trapping it in a Ba(OH)2solutionand titrating the solution to calculate the amount of CO2absorbed.4.2 The ca

22、rbon content of the test substance is determinedby Test Method D 5291 or an equivalent method and thetheoretical CO2is calculated from that measurement. It isnecessary to directly measure the carbon content of the testsubstance instead of calculating this number, because of thecomplexity of the mixt

23、ure of compounds present in lubricants.4.3 Biodegradability is expressed as a percentage of theo-retical CO2production.5. Significance and Use5.1 Results from the test method suggest, within the con-fines of a controlled laboratory setting, the degree of aerobicaquatic biodegradation of a lubricant

24、or components of alubricant by measuring the evolved carbon dioxide uponexposure of the test material to an inoculum. The plateau levelof CO2evolution in this test method will suggest the degree ofbiodegradability of the lubricant. Test substances that achievea high degree of biodegradation in this

25、test may be assumed toeasily biodegrade in many aerobic aquatic environments.5.2 Because of the stringency of this test, a low yield of CO2does not necessarily mean that the test substance is notbiodegradable under environmental conditions, but indicatesthat further testing is necessary to establish

26、 biodegradability.5.3 Information on toxicity to the inoculum of the testsubstance may be useful in the interpretation of low biodegra-dation results.5.4 Activated sewage-sludge from a sewage-treatment plantthat principally treats domestic waste is considered an accept-able active aerobic inoculum a

27、vailable over a wide geographi-cal area in which to test a broad range of lubricants. Aninoculum derived from soil or natural surface waters, or both,or any combination of the three sources, is also appropriate forthis test method.NOTE 1Allowance for various and multiple inoculum sources pro-vides a

28、ccess to a greater diversity of biochemical competency andpotentially represents more accurately the capacity for biodegradation.5.5 Areference or control substance known to biodegrade isnecessary in order to verify the activity of the inoculum. Thetest must be regarded as invalid and should be repe

29、ated usinga fresh inoculum if the reference does not demonstrate abiodegradation of 60 % of the theoretical CO2evolutionwithin 28 days.5.6 A total CO2evolution in the blank at the end of the testexceeding 75 mg CO2per 3 L of medium shall be consideredas invalidating the test.5.7 The water solubility

30、 or dispersibility of the lubricant orcomponent may influence the results obtained and hence theprocedure may be limited to comparing lubricants or compo-nents with similar solubilities.5.8 The ratio of carbon incorporated into cellular material tocarbon released as CO2will vary depending on the org

31、anicsubstrate, on the particular microorganisms carrying out theconversion, and on the environmental conditions under whichthe conversion takes place. In principle, this variability com-plicates the interpretation of the results from this test method.6. Apparatus6.1 Carbon Dioxide Scrubbing Apparatu

Once sufficientsettling is achieved, decant sufficient volume of the supernatantto provide a 1% (by volume) inoculum. Avoid carry-over ofsludge solids which might cause inconsistencies in the mea-
