Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in an aqueous medium with Respirometric Sensor System
The analysis involves the use of aerobic microorganisms in an aqueous medium containing inorganic salts and the organic material to be tested (the only carbon source) with a concentration of organic carbon between 100 and 2000 mg/l. The mixture is stirred in a closed vessel.
Determination of the Ultimate Aerobic Biodegradability of Plastic Materials in Soil with Respirometric Sensor System
Learn how to obtain the optimal rate of plastic material biodegradation in test soil by controlling soil moisture, as well as, determining the ultimate biodegradability of the material itself. A non-specific soil is used as the inoculum because the test simulates the processes of biodegradation that occurs in a natural environment.

FAQ
Check technical sheets with answers to most frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of using the RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for determining the biodegradability of plastic materials in aqueous medium?
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System is employed to measure the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in an aqueous medium, following the guidelines of ISO 14851:2019. It allows for an accurate assessment of oxygen demand during the biodegradation process.
How does the RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System work in the biodegradation process?
The system utilizes aerobic microorganisms in an aqueous medium containing inorganic salts and the organic material to be tested, acting as the sole carbon source. Organic carbon concentration typically ranges between 100 and 2000 mg/l. The mixture is stirred within a closed vessel, and incubation occurs in darkness at a constant temperature for up to 6 months. Oxygen consumption is measured via pressure differences detected by the VELP RESPIROMETRIC Sensor.
