16、1 DiscussionIn biology and environmental science, biomass is typically expressed as density of biological material perunit sample volume, area, or mass (g biomass/g(or/mLor/cm2) sample); when used for products derived from organismsbiomass is typically expressed in terms of mass (kg, MT, etc.) or vo
17、lume (L, m3, bbl, etc.).3.1.4.2 DiscussionProducts of living organisms include those materials produced directly by living organisms as metabolites(for example, ethanol, various carbohydrates and fatty acids), materials manufactured by processing living organisms (for example:pellets manufactured by
18、 shredding and pelletizing plant material) and materials produced by processing living organisms, theircomponents or metabolites (for example, transesterified oil; also called biodiesel).3.1.5 blank, na flask containing the test medium and the inoculum with no additional carbon source added.3.1.6 in

25、easuring the consumption ofO2.3.1.14.1 DiscussionThe measurement of new biomass is not attempted.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Biodegradation of a lubricant or the component(s) of a lubricant is measured by collecting and measuring the CO2producedwhen the lubricant or component is exposed to microorg
26、anisms under controlled aerobic aquatic conditions. This value is thencompared to the theoretical amount of CO2which could be generated if all of the carbon in the test material were converted toCO2.CO2is a product of aerobic microbial metabolism of carbon-containing substances and so is a direct me
27、asure of the testsubstances ultimate biodegradation. CO2production is quantified by trapping it in a Ba(OH)2solution and titrating the solutionto calculate the amount of CO2absorbed.4.2 The carbon content of the test substance is determined by Test Method D5291 or an equivalent method and the theore
28、ticalCO2is calculated from that measurement. It is necessary to directly measure the carbon content of the test substance instead ofcalculating this number, because of the complexity of the mixture of compounds present in lubricants.4.3 Biodegradability is expressed as a percentage of theoretical CO
29、2production.5. Significance and Use5.1 Results from the test method suggest, within the confines of a controlled laboratory setting, the degree of aerobic aquaticbiodegradation of a lubricant or components of a lubricant by measuring the evolved carbon dioxide upon exposure of the testmaterial to an
30、 inoculum. The plateau level of CO2evolution in this test method will suggest the degree of biodegradability of thelubricant. Test substances that achieve a high degree of biodegradation in this test may be assumed to easily biodegrade in manyaerobic aquatic environments.5.2 Because of the stringenc
31、y of this test, a low yield of CO2does not necessarily mean that the test substance is notbiodegradable under environmental conditions, but indicates that further testing is necessary to establish biodegradability.5.3 Information on toxicity to the inoculum of the test substance may be useful in the
32、 interpretation of low biodegradationresults.5.4 Activated sewage-sludge from a sewage-treatment plant that principally treats domestic waste is considered an acceptableactive aerobic inoculum available over a wide geographical area in which to test a broad range of lubricants.

35、method.NOTE 1Allowance for various and multiple inoculum sources provides access to a greater diversity of biochemical competency and potentiallyrepresents more accurately the capacity for biodegradation.5.5 A reference or control substance known to biodegrade is necessary in order to verify the act
36、ivity of the inoculum. The testmust be regarded as invalid and should be repeated using a fresh inoculum if the reference does not demonstrate a biodegradationof 60 % of the theoretical CO2evolution within 28 days.5.6 A total CO2evolution in the blank at the end of the test exceeding 75 mg CO2per 3
37、L of medium shall be considered asinvalidating the test.5.7 The water solubility or dispersibility of the lubricant or component may influence the results obtained and hence theprocedure may be limited to comparing lubricants or components with similar solubilities.5.8 The ratio of carbon incorporat
38、ed into cellular material to carbon released as CO2will vary depending on the organicsubstrate, on the particular microorganisms carrying out the conversion, and on the environmental conditions under which theconversion takes place. In principle, this variability complicates the interpretation of th
