Synthetically prepared wastewater originating from the H-acid (4-Amino-5-hydroxy-2,7-naphthalene disulfonic acid) manufacturing process was subjected to respirometric analysis for evaluating the level of achievable biodegradation in the presence of this commercially important azo dye precursor. For this purpose, H-acid was mixed with synthetic substrate having the same characteristics as sewage at a concentration and composition being typical for H-acid manufacturing wastewater. Experimental results indicated that H-acid was not biodegradable under activated sludge treatment conditions even after prolonged acclimation periods. The results were also confirmed by model evaluation of oxygen uptake rate profiles. H-acid also did not inhibit the biodegradation of synthetic sewage but accumulated as soluble inert COD in the treated wastewater.
