- Experiments with additives carried out on separate columns: no
- pH: 3
- Solvent for dissolving test substance: methanol/purified water 70:30 (v/v)

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: urea (inert marker), phenol, acetanilide, monuron, triapenthenol, linuron, fenthion and trifluralin

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: 48.9 mg/25 mL
- Quantity of reference substances: urea - 21.7 mg/25 mL eluent, phenol - 15.1 mg/25 mL solvent, acetanilide - 19.8 mg/25 mL solvent, monuron - 17.6 mg/25 mL solvent, triapenthenol - 16.0 mg/25 mL solvent, linuron - 19.2 mg/25 mL solvent, fenthion - 18.5 mg/25 mL solvent, trifluralin - 13.7 mg/25 mL

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: two per reference substance, two for test substance

EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': k' value was calculated from the two retention times of the test substance.
- Determination of the log Koc value: log Koc of the test substance was determined from the calibration plot of log k' versus the log Koc of the selected reference substances.
Key result
Type:
Koc
Value:
0.8 dimensionless
pH:
3
Temp.:
23 °C
Remarks on result:
other: log Koc is -0.1
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test substance was determined to be 0.8 (log Koc = -0.1).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the adsorption coefficient of the test substance (64% purity) in accordance with draft OECD Guideline 121. The HPLC method was employed for the determination of adsorption coefficient with methanol/phosphate buffer (55:45) as the mobile phase at pH 3 and at a temperature of 23°C. Reference substances were used for calibration and the adsorption coefficient of the test substance was determined from the plot of log k' and log Koc of the reference substances by extrapolation. Under the study conditions, the adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test substance was determined to be 0.8 (log Koc = -0.1) (Schleich, 2001).
