25、ion. IntroductionManagement of plastics waste is a serious problem in the world. Plastics recovery technologies include materialrecovery (mechanical recycling, chemical or feedstock recycling, and biological or organic recycling) and energyrecovery (heat, steam or electricity as a substitute for fos

26、sil fuels or other fuel resources). The use ofbiodegradable plastics is one valuable recovery option (biological or organic recycling).Several ISO standards for determining the ultimate aerobic/anaerobic biodegradability of plastic materials havebeen published. In particular, ISO 14855-1 is a common

27、 test method that measures the amount of carbondioxide evolved using methods such as continuous infrared analysis, gas chromatography or titration.Compared with ISO 14855-1, the amounts of compost inoculum and test sample used in this part of ISO 14855are one-tenth the size. In order to ensure the a

28、ctivity of the compost inoculum, inert material that gives themixture the same texture as soil is mixed into the inoculum. The carbon dioxide evolved from the test vessel isdetermined by absorbing it in a carbon dioxide trap and carrying out gravimetric analysis of the absorbent. Themethod described

29、 in this part of ISO 14855, which uses a closed system to capture the carbon dioxide evolved,can also be used to obtain valuable information, by means of isotopic-labelling studies, on the way in which themolecular structure of co-polymers degrades.4 DIN EN ISO 14855-2:2009-10 EN ISO 14855-2:2009 (E

30、) WARNING Sewage, activated sludge, soil and compost may contain potentially pathogenicorganisms. Therefore appropriate precautions should be taken when handling them. Toxic testcompounds and those whose properties are unknown should be handled with care.1ScopeThis part of ISO 14855 specifies a meth

31、od for determining the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plasticmaterials under controlled composting conditions by gravimetric measurement of the amount of carbon dioxideevolved. The method is designed to yield an optimum rate of biodegradation by adjusting the humidity, aerationand temperature

32、of the composting vessel.The method applies to the following materials: natural and/or synthetic polymers and copolymers, and mixtures of these; plastic materials that contain additives such as plasticizers or colorants; water-soluble polymers; materials that, under the test conditions, do not inhib

33、it the activity of micro-organisms present in theinoculum.If the test material inhibits micro-organisms in the inoculum, another type of mature compost or pre-exposurecompost can be used.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

46、o yield the optimum rate of biodegradation of a plastic material in mature compost bycontrolling the humidity, aeration ratio and temperature in the composting vessel. It also aims to determine theultimate biodegradability of the test material by using a small-scale reactor. The degradation rate is

47、periodicallymeasured by determining the mass of the evolved carbon dioxide using an absorption column filled with sodalime and soda talc on an electronic balance.The test material is mixed with an inoculum derived from mature compost and with an inert material such as seasand. The sea sand plays an

48、active part by acting as a holding body for humidity and micro-organisms.Examples of suitable test arrangements are presented in Annexes A and B. The amount of carbon dioxideevolved is measured at intervals on an electronic balance and the carbon dioxide content is determined usingthe following meth

49、od. The derivation of the equation used to calculate the degree of biodegradation from theamount of carbon dioxide evolved is given in Annex C. In this method, the degree of biodegradation, expressedas a percentage, is calculated by comparing the amount of carbon dioxide evolved with the theoretical amount(ThCO2).The test is terminated when the plateau phase of biodegradation has been attained. The standard time fortermination is 45 days, but the test could be continued for up to six months.5ReagentsUse only a
