Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identity: TKN1
Batch number: N1200213
Physical state/appearance: Colourless gas
Purity: 100%
Storage conditions: Room temperature
Expiry date: 10 August 2022
Radiolabelling:
no
Test temperature:
25°C
Details on study design: HPLC method:
The sorption behaviour of the test item on soil can be investigated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The adsorption coefficient is deduced from the capacity factor (k’) given by:
k' = tr - to / to
where: tr is the measured retention time of sample or reference
and: to is the retention time of the internal deadtime standard.

Procedure:
In order to correlate the measured capacity factor (k’) of the test material with its Koc, six reference materials were selected from a list of recommended compounds. These reference compounds were selected to have log10Koc values between 1.3 and 5.6. An internal standard (formamide) with no retention on the HPLC column was used to determine the deadtime of the HPLC system.

The reference substances are shown in 'any other information on materials and methods'.

A solution of TKN1 in HPLC mobile phase (also containing I.D.S.) was prepared and chromatographed in duplicate, bracketed by samples of the reference mixture, using the following conditions.

HPLC Conditions:
Instrument: Agilent 1200 Liquid Chromatograph
Data handling system: Waters Empower 2 (Build 2154) Service Pack D Feature Release 4
Column: HyperClone CN (CPS), 5µm (25 cm x 4.6 mm internal diameter)
Column temperature: 25°C
Mobile phase composition: Methanol:water (55:45 v/v)
Flow rate: 1 mL/minute
Injection volume:100 µL (samples)
10 μL (reference mixture)
Detector: UV set at 210 nm

Key result
Type:
log Koc
Value:
0.63 dimensionless
Temp.:
25 °C
Type:
Koc
Value:
4.3 dimensionless
Temp.:
25 °C
Details on results (HPLC method):
A calibration plot of log10k’ versus log10Koc was constructed for the reference standards
The logarithm of the capacity factor for the test item was then calculated and the log10Koc value was determined by extrapolation.

The test item, TKN1, was thus determined to have a log10Koc value of 0.63 (equivalent to a Koc value of 4.3).
