Biodegradability of Tioctilate
Experientia, 1979The biodegradability of Tioctilate (octylthiobenzoate), a new pesticide, has been examined by means of 5 tests. The compound appears to be susceptible to microbial metabolism.

Determinants of biodegradability
Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, 1978As a consequence of the activities of modern industry and agriculture, many made-made organic compounds have found their way into our environment, and by persisting there for varying periods of time have caused concern to society. Why do some chemicals persist while others disappear?

The chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) is not degraded by conventional biological and physicochemical methods for the treatment of wastewater and the purification of drinking water. Of the measurable organic compounds it is the one present at the highest concentration in many surface and drinking waters.

Microencapsulation of mildronate in biodegradable and non-biodegradable polymers
Journal of Microencapsulation, 2013The extremely high hygroscopicity (solubility in water ≥2 g/ml) of the pharmaceutical preparation mildronate defines specific requirements to both packaging material and storage conditions. To overcome the above mentioned inconveniences, microencapsulated form of mildronate was developed using polystyrene (PS) and poly (lactic acid) (PLA) as watertight

Biodegradability and biodegradation pathways of endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013Endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate are persistent organic pollutants that cause serious environmental problems. Although these compounds are already prohibited in many countries, residues can be detected in soils with a history of endosulfan application.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2001
Widespread studies on the biodegradation of plastics have been carried out in order to overcome the environmental problems associated with synthetic plastic waste. Recent work has included studies of the distribution of synthetic polymer-degrading microorganisms in the environment, the isolation of new microorganisms for biodegradation, the discovery ...

Preparation of a biodegradable oil absorber and its biodegradation
Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2011The biodegradable oil absorption resin (B-PEHA) was prepared by suspension polymerization, and its preparation was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared analysis. The oil absorption capacities of the prepared B-PEHA were: chloroform 30.88, toluene 19.75, xylene, 18.78, THF 15.96, octane 11.43, hexane 9.5, diesel oil 12.80, and kerosene 13.79 g/g. The

Biodegradation data evaluation for structure/biodegradability relations
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1987Abstract Previous attempts at structure/biodegradability relations (SBRs) and available biodegradation data are reviewed and it is concluded that (1) not enough rate data on large numbers of chemicals are available to develop quantitative SBRs and (2) attempted qualitative SBRs have suffered from either poor documentation of the ...

Biodegradation of Biodegradable Polymeric Materials
2023Bioplastics are not just one single material They comprise of a whole family of materials with different properties and applications. According to European Bioplastics, a plastic material is defined as a bioplastic if it is either biobased, biodegradable, or features both properties.Biobased is the material or product (partly) derived from biomass ...
