Abstract: | Nine anionic detergents from five general classes (alcohol sulfates, ether alcohol sulfates, sulfated alkanolamides, α-sulfo
esters and alkylbenzenesul-fonates) were rapidly screened for biodegradability under aerobic and microaerophilic conditions
in river water at 25 and 35 C. In decreasing order, the ease of biodegradation under microaerophilic conditions at 35 C was
as follows: alcohol sulfates, sulfated alkanolamides, α-sulfo fatty acid esters and ether alcohol sulfates. Linear alkylbenzenesulfonate
did not degrade.
