Respirometric analyzer for polymer biodegradation measurement
Manufacturer / Brand: Echo d.o.o.
Model:
RESEP-02
Scope of usage:
- measuring the
final stage of aerobic biodegradability of polymer materials in an aqueous
medium and measuring the final
stage of aerobic biodegradability and decomposition of polymer materials under
controlled composting conditions,
- determining the activity of the biological wastewater treatment plants, determining eligibility and degradation rate of individual substances and wastewater in wastewater treatment plant , as well as determining the biodegradability of waste,
- determining the
activity of microorganisms, measuring the biological activity of organisms (
concentration of CO2 in exhaled air) and measuring the activity of
fermentation.
Examples of application
for polymer analysis / information that can be obtained by this method for
polymers:
- a final stage of aerobic biodegrability
of polymer materials in an aqueous medium - Method with analysis of evolved CO2
- determination of final
aerobic biodegradability and disintegration of polymer materials under
controlled composting conditions - Method with analysis of evolved CO2
- Information which is obtained: oxygen consumption [g], formation of CO2 [mg]
