The term "biodegradable compounds" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to refer to substances that can be broken down by bacteria or other living organisms. For example: "When disposing of hazardous materials, it is important to use biodegradable compounds to prevent environmental damage."
The sequential configuration resulted in substantially improved trace organic chemical removal (i.e. higher biodegradation rate coefficients) for moderately biodegradable compounds compared to conventional MAR systems with extended travel times in an anoxic aquifer.
At the beginning of co-composting, the mesophilic microflora start vigorous oxidation of easily biodegradable compounds.
Basically, organic compounds in wastes are classified as biodegradable compounds and recalcitrant compounds.
However the leading trend towards using environmental friendly technologies has enhanced the search for biodegradable compounds of natural origin.
In general, The BOD/COD ratio indicates the changes in the amount of biodegradable compounds in the leachate (Warith 2002).
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a new biological method for generating electricity directly from biodegradable compounds.
The presence of methanol, a hydrophilic and easily biodegradable compound, suppressed the growth of α-pinene degrading microbial community, thereby reducing α-pinene removal capacity of the biofilters.
Based on the experimental data and model predictions from this study, it can be concluded that m-cresol affects the degradation of phenols and that the present of an easily biodegradable compound accelerates phenol degradation.
The Polifeprosan 20 with carmustine (BCNU, bis-chloroethylnitrosourea, Gliadel®) polymer implant wafer is a biodegradable compound containing 3.85% carmustine which slowly degrades to release carmustine and protects it from exposure to water with resultant hydrolysis until the time of release.
Most of the dyes have non-biodegradable compounds [3].
At the end of the last step, semi-aerobic conditions are restored and flushing applied for leaching residual non-biodegradable compounds.
