- Details on results (Batch equilibrium method):
- 1.1. Moisture content
The moisture content of the sludges was 3.36% (Tilburg) and 4.01% (Maaskant).
1.2. Stability of the test substance/adsorption to container material
This experiment was performed to test the adsorption of the test substance to container material, as well as its stability in 0.01 M CaCI2 solution. The radiochemical purity of the test substance in the test solution was 97.2% at the start of the test. The amount of radioactivity recovered in the solutions after 24 hours in contact with the container material in the absence of sludge was 88-91% of the nominal applied activity in polypropylene containers and 94-98% for glass containers. These results indicate that the test substance slightly adsorbs on polypropylene, while the adsorption of the test substance to glass is negligible.
The radiochemical purity of the test substance in the test solution after 24 hours was 57-65% in the glass containers and 88-90% in the polypropylene containers based on HPLC analysis. Therefore, Sodium Lauroyl isethionate (Batch 9276B) was considered unstable in 0.01 M CaCI2 solution over 24 hours. Further experiments were carried out in sterile conditions.
1.3. Determination of an appropriate sludge:solutlon ratio
The results of the experiment to determine a suitable sludge:solution ratio seem to suggest that the test substance does not adsorb to sludge at all at the tested ratios. However, the HPLC chromatograms show that the test substance is unstable in the experimental conditions. The test substance metabolizes completely after 24 hours. Therefore, it was decided to perform a short kinetics experiment with a sludge:solution ratio of 1:100.
1.4. Determination of equilibrium time (adsorption and desorption kinetics)
A short experiment was carried out in glass vials at a sludge:solution ratio of 1:100 and an initial test concentration of 0.7 mg/L. After 4 hours almost all activity was recovered in the supernatant and less than 10% was adsorbed to sludge. HPLC analysis showed that the test substance was fully degraded. In control samples (absence of sludge) the test substance was stable over the test period. Additionally, abiotic controls (sterilised sludge slurries) were spiked and sampled after 4 hours. Based on the activity measured in the supernatant, adsorption was determined to be 83% for Tilburg sludge and 87% for Maaskant sludge. In Maaskant supernatant no degradation product was detected; in Tilburg supernatant the degradation product was responsible for approximately 15% of the recovered activity.
Based on the results obtained in this short experiment, it was decided to perform the kinetics experiment in glass vials on sterile conditions at a sludge:solution ratio of 1:250.
The initial test substance concentration in the solution was approximately 0.8 mg/L. 100% was recovered in the control samples. The results are based upon LSC analysis of the water layer. Supernatants were also analysed by HPLC.
HPLC analysis showed that the test substance was stable for the duration of the experiment in contact with Maaskant sludge. One additional peak with a retention time of 2.70 minutes was observed in Tilburg supernatant. This peak represented a minor proportion of the total applied test substance at the timelines of equilibrium.
Mass balances were determined for two samples of each sludge after the adsorption and one sample after the desorption stage of the short kinetics experiment, and they were calculated again for one sample of each sludge after the adsorption and the desorption stage of the second kinetics experiment. The mass balances were in the range of 90-110% as specified by the OECD guideline, with three exceptions that were between 83.8 and 89.2%. These lower values could be justified for technical reasons due to the very low amounts of sludge used for this experiments and the possible loss of small amounts of sludge during the transference steps.
The pH of the remaining supernatants obtained after the adsorption and desorption kinetics experiments were respectively 6.3 and 5.9 for Tilburg sludge and 5.4 and 5.8 for Maaskant
sludge.
1.5 Determination of adsorption/desorption isotherms
HPLC chromatograms of the supernatants of the sludge samples after the isotherms experiments show only one peak, which corresponds to the test substance. The test substance was therefore stable in the presence of sludge during the timeframe of the experiment.
At the end of the adsorption and desorption stage of the isotherm measurements, the pH of the supernatant was measured for each sludge at the lowest and highest test substance concentration. The pH ranged from 5.4 to 6.1 after adsorption and from 6.2 to 6.6 after desorption.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate (Batch 9276B) adsorption and desorption isotherms could be described by the Freundlich equation. KfOC ads values were 1412 L/kg (Tilburg sludge) and 1490 L/kg (Maaskant sludge).
- Executive summary:
The adsorption behaviour of Sodium lauroyl Isethionate (Batch 9276B) was studied in two sludges. The sludges were taken from waste water treatment plants treating predominantly domestic waste water (RWZI Tilburg-Noord, Tilburg, The Netherlands and Waterschap de Maaskant, 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands).
Adsorption and desorption kinetics were determined at a nominal initial concentration of approximately 0.7 mg/l. Adsorption and desorption isotherms were determined over a concentration range from approximately 0.007to 0.7 mg/l. The adsorption-desorption
experiments were carried out under sterile conditions at 20°C±2°C in the dark on a roller mixer at a sludge:0.01 MCaCI2 solution ratio of 1:250.
Adsorption equilibrium in sludge was reached after 3 hours. Desorption equilibrium was also reached after3 hours. Sodium lauroyl Isethionate (Batch 9276B) was shown to be stable under sterile conditions.
Sodium lauroyl isethionate adsorption and desorption isotherms couldbe described by the Freundlich equation. Freundlich adsorption and desorption coefficients are summarised in the table below.
