Conclusions:
The Partition coefficient (POw) on soil and on sewage sludge of the test chemical was determined to be -1.261 ± 0.084 at 25 °C.
Executive summary:

The Partition coefficient (Pow) of test chemical at 25°C was estimated according to the OECD Guideline No. 107,”Shake Flask Method”.In this method the different volumes of a stock solution in n-octanol (pre saturated with water) by accurately weighing 0.2211 gm of test item which was introduced into 100 ml of n-octanol. The pH of aqueous phase (water phase) before the experiment was 6.3 and after the experiment for 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 ratio was 6.1, 7.6 and 7.7 respectively. After centrifugation, both the aqueous phase and octanol phase were analysed by HPLC. The partition coefficient were calculated, from the measured concentration of test chemical in the organic and aqueous phases.The log Pow value was determined to be -1.261 ± 0.084 at 25°C temperature. By considering this log Pow value it can be concluded that test chemical is hydrophilic in nature.

Additional information

Based on the available data in a key study from study report,the Partition coefficient (Pow) of test chemical at 25°C was estimated according to the OECD Guideline No. 107,”Shake Flask Method”. In this method the different volumes of a stock solution in n-octanol (pre saturated with water) by accurately weighing 0.2211 gm of test item which was introduced into 100 ml of n-octanol. The pH of aqueous phase (water phase) before the experiment was 6.3 and after the experiment for 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 ratio was 6.1, 7.6 and 7.7 respectively. After centrifugation, both the aqueous phase and octanol phase were analysed by HPLC. The partition coefficient were calculated, from the measured concentration of test chemical in the organic and aqueous phases. The log Pow value was determined to be -1.261 ± 0.084 at 25°C temperature.

In a supportingstudy from peer reviewed journal andsecondary source,the partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the test chemical was determined by OECD Guideline 107 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), Shake Flask Method) and was evaluated to be -2.97.

Additional studyfromsecondary source and modelling databaseindicates that the octanol waterpartition coefficient (log Pow) value of the test chemical was estimated to be -1.88.

Thus, based on the available information, the logPow valueof the test chemical ranges from -2.97 to -1.26, respectively. On the basis of this value, test chemical can be considered to behydrophilic in nature.
