Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Anthraquinone (at 10 mg/L organic carbon), inoculated with activated sludge, reached 28% of the theoretical CO2 within 28 days(1). 52.3% of the initial concn of anthraquinone (100 mg/L) was biodegraded by an activated sludge inoculum (time = 3 weeks)(2). Biodegradation of anthraquinone was measured using three standard tests (each using activated sludge inocula)(3). Over a 20 day period, 51-91%, 81-93%, and 70% of the added anthraquinone was biodegraded in the Sturm test, MITI test, and the RDA test, respectively(3). Anthraquinone (at 100 mg/L) was biodegraded by 46% over a 28 day period (UK-MITI test); a lag time of about 7 days was observed(4). Varying activated sludge inoculum sizes had little impact on the final oxidation of anthraquinone; 40-60% oxidation at 56 days was seen for all inoculum levels(5).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 12 was calculated for anthraquinone(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.39(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using an HPLC screening technique and five European reference soils, Koc values ranging from 2,755 to 17,416 were determined for anthraquinone(1). According to a suggested classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that anthraquinone has slight mobility or is immobile in soil(SRC). Laboratory trials with BBA soils did not reveal any leaching potential(3). Results of a 23-day soil column leaching study have shown that anthraquinone has the potential to reach ground water under recharge conditions similar to those in arid and semi-arid climates(4).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
