Plastic determination

ILT CODE: ILT-U-3190 Category:

Description:

Ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in soil by measuring the oxygen demand in a respirometer or the amount of carbon dioxide evolved. According to ISO 17556, ASTM D5988.


Standard :ASTM D5988, ISO 17556

Ultimate aerobic biodegradability of a plastic product in soil.

This method is based on carbon dioxide evolution or oxygen demand as measured in a closed respirometer as the sole product of biodegradation.

The carbon dioxide is measured as dissolved inorganic carbon in the liquid phase and as carbon dioxide gas in the headspace. The participant will execute the project using the CO2 collection method since mineralization is the most robust evidence of biodegradation.
