 Validation

The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 0 to 500 mg/l. This was satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of 1.000 being obtained.

Discussion

The test material contained sulphonic acid sodium salt groups and therefore pKa values outside the environmentally relevant pH range for the determination of partition coefficient. As a result, testing was performed at pH 7 using the shake-flask method as recommended for salts.

An organic matrix blank chromatogram was subtracted from the organic standards and samples to remove the baseline drift due to the mobile phase gradient. This was not performed for the aqueous standards and samples as the drift was not significant compared to the size of the test material peaks.

As no definable peak was detectable in the organic phase samples chromatography, a 4 x baseline noise was calculated around the retention time of the test material as a worse case scenario and used as a less than or equal to value to represent peak height.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The partition coefficient of the test material has been determined to be ≤ 2.59 x 10-4, log10 Pow, ≤ -3.59.

Executive summary:
