Development and Standardization of a test method
for biodegradability of polymers under anoxic
conditions by pressure measurement
The objective of this project was to develop a method
for the evaluation of the biodegradability of polymers
under anoxic (denitrifying) conditions in an aqueous
medium. Thereupon a proposal can be submitted to
the appropriate committees on European and international
level to introduce a new international testing
standard. The existing standards only concern to the
determination of aerobic or anaerobic, but not to the
anoxic biodegradability of polymers. The new approach
will close this gap. The new test method will permit for
instance the examination if a reuse of a waste polymer
as carbon source for the denitrification of a waste water
treatment plant is possible.
