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.
What is the purpose of using the RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for determining the biodegradability of plastic materials in soil?
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System is employed to measure the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in test soil, following the guidelines of ISO ISO 17556:2019. It allows for accurate assessment of oxygen demand during the biodegradation process.
