Abstract: | The rate and extent of ?-caprolactam degradation in aquatic systems are dependent on the nutrient availability, indigenous microbial population and activity, chemical concentration, and water temperature. The labeled chemical evolved 14CO2 indicating ring cleavage with between 35 and 80% of the radioactivity evolved as 14CO2 after 21 days in yeast extract-supplemented waters. The percent of caprolactam degraded was indirectly related to the chemical's concentration in the water, suggesting microbial inhibition at high caprolactam concentrations. |
