In order to avoid any unnecessary excess of inorganic salts that could reduce the solubility of the test substance, these buffer solutions were diluted to 10% with double distilled water before being used as test media. - Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
Hydrolysis reactions were performed in 20 mL crimp cap amber-glass vials. A constant temperature water baths is used to maintain to +/-0.1°C the bottles temperature. For temperatures close to ambiant temperature (20°C, 25°C) a cooling unit is used. Analytical equipment capable of detecting a 10% depletion of the concentration of aqueous solutions was used.
TEST CONDITIONS
- Test substance solution: The water solubility of the test substance at 20°C is 14.0 mg/L. According to the guidelines, the initial concentration to be used for the hydrolysis reaction should not exceed the half of the saturation concentration. A nominal concentration of 5.0 mg/L was used throughout the study. Therefore, a stock solution containing 5.0 g/L of test substance in acetone was prepared. By a 1:1000 dilution of this solution with buffer solution, the test concentration, 5.0 mg/L, was obtained. The amount of carrier solvent (acetone) did not exceed 0.1%, as required by the guidelines. The solutions were stirred for minimum of 16 hours at room temperature, to allow for equilibration and complete homogenisation.
- Preliminary test (Tier 1): As the test substance was expected to be hydrolytically unstable, the preliminary test at 50°C, was performed in the conditions of the main test, to say analysis were made in time intervals which provide a minimum of six spaced data points. Solutions of the test substance in the different buffer solutions were prepared as described above. For each pH, 20 crimp cap vials (20 mL) were filled with 15.0 mL of the solution, sealed with teflon coated rubber septa, and placed in the water bath at 50°C. After temperature equilibration, a first pair of vials was extracted for each pH. This is time zero of the experiment. At given times other vials were sacrificed for analysis.
- Main test (Tier 2): The main test was performed in the exact same manner as the preliminary test, with the test temperatures and sampling times adapted to the hydrolysis rates at the different pH values.
At pH 4, the preliminary test at 50°C showed a very rapid hydrolysis, so that the minimum of six spaced data points between 10% and 90% hydrolysis was not obtained. The main test was performed at 20°C, 25°C and 30°C.
At pH 7, the preliminary test at 50°C provided results that could directly be used for the main study. In addition, the main test was performed at 60°C and 70°C.
At pH 9, the preliminary test at 50°C provided results that could directly be used for the main study. In addition, the main test was performed at 40°C and 60°C. - Duration:

- The half-life time of the test substance at 25°C is 39 hours in aqueous buffer solution at pH 4.
The half-life time of the test substance at 25°C is 2572 hours in aqueous buffer solution at pH 7.
The half-life time of the test substance at 25°C is 1181 hours in aqueous buffer solution at pH 9. - Executive summary:
An abiotic degradation study (hydrolysis as a function of pH) was carried out with the test substance according to OECD Guideline 111 under GLP compliance.
Hydrolysis is one of the most common reactions controlling abiotic degradation and is therefore potentially a significant degradation pathway for substances in the environment.
Hydrolysis behaviour needs to be examined at pH values normally found in the environment (pH 4 to 9). Other potentially degrading agents (light, oxygen, microorganisms) must be excluded. In dilute solutions, the kinetics of hydrolysis is generally pseudo-first order at fixed pH and temperature. The concentration of the test substance is determined as a function of time. The logarithms of the concentrations are plotted against time and the slope of the resulting straight line (assuming first order or pseudo-first order behaviour) gives the rate constant and the half-life time.
Preliminary tests, performed at 50°C, showed that after 120 hours, more than 10% hydrolysis occurred at all three pH values of 4, 7 and 9.
Therefore, at all three pH values of 4, 7 and 9, a main test (Tier 2) was performed.
The half-life time of the test substance at 25°C is 39 hours in aqueous buffer solution at pH 4.
The half-life time of the test substance at 25°C is 2572 hours in aqueous buffer solution at pH 7.
The half-life time of the test substance at 25°C is 1181 hours in aqueous buffer solution at pH 9.
