Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method C.19 (Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (KOC) on Soil and Sewage Sludge Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC))
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Please see below.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The method guideline states that the measurement of adsorption coefficient should be carried out on substances in their ionised and unionised forms. However, the dissociation constants of certain functional groups found in the test material made it impossible to satisfy this criteria. Testing would be required at pH <0 and at pH >10 for the acidic and basic functional groups respectively. As a consequence of this, one of the functional groups will always be present in its ionised form. Therefore, as these pH’s are outside the environmental pH range for this test and also experimentally impractical, testing was carried out at approximately neutral pH with the test material being ionised. pH 7 is also the recommended pH for salts of sulphonic acid groups.
