Water quality - Evaluation of the aerobic biodegradability of organic compounds at low concentrations - Part 2: Continuous flow river model with attached biomass
ISO 14592-2:2002 specifies a method for evaluating the biodegradability of organic test compounds by aerobic microorganisms in natural waters by means of a continuous flow river model with attached biomass.
ISO 14592-2:2002 is applicable to organic test compounds present in lower concentrations than those of natural carbon substrates also present in the system. Under these conditions, the test compounds serve as a secondary substrate and the kinetics for biodegradation would be expected to be first order (non-growth kinetics).
ISO 14592-2:2002 is applicable to organic test compounds, which under the conditions of the test and at the chosen test concentration, are:
This test is not recommended for use as proof of ultimate biodegradability (mineralization) which is better assessed using other standardized tests.
