Details on results:
The preliminary visual experiments showed that the water solubility of the test item is between 510 g/l and 610 g/l. Therefore the water solubility had to be determined by the “flask-method”.

Preliminary Visual Estimation of the Water Solubility and stirring test: Several preliminary test were performed with different amounts of the test item and different volumes of water.

*3): After adding the indicated amount of water, the solution was stirred for 20 minutes.

*4): After adding the indicated amount of water, the solution was stirred for about 15 hours. 1g of this solution was centrifuged after stirring.

 

The preliminary visual experiments showed that the water solubility of the test item is between 510 g/l and 610 g/l. Therefore the water solubility had to be determined by the “flask-method”.

Cs = 208.3 g/l
RSD = 0.7%

Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was the determination of the water solubility c5of the test item according to the consolidated version of Guideline 67/548/EEC Annex V (Council Directive 92/69/EEC), PartA:Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.6. Water solubility; flask-method and OECD test guidelines, OECD 105 (1995) Water solubility. The study was performed in accordance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and reported with a valid GLP certificate.

 

Different preliminary tests were performed with different amounts of the test item and different volumes of water. The mixtures were stirred or treated with ultrasound and visually checked for any undissolved parts. Due to the high water solubility it had to be tested which amount of the test item could be stirred in a defined volume of water.

 

For the main test three flasks were prepared with about 17 g of the test item and 25 ml distilled water. The batches were stirred for different times at 30°C(experiment G for 72 h, experiment F for 48 h, experiment E for 24 h) in tightly closed flasks. After equilibration for 24 h at 20°Caliquots of the saturated aqueous phase were taken and centrifuged (30 minutes, 20°C,15000 rpm). Aliquots of the clear viscous aqueous phases were filtered through 0.2 μm membrane filters and diluted approx. 0.1 to 1 00 with the eluent at the beginning of the HPLC-measurement.

 

The preliminary visual experiments showed that the water solubility of the test item is between 510 g/l and 610 g/l. Therefore the water solubility had to be determined by the "flask-method".

 

The water solubility cSof the test item at a temperature of 20°C was determined as follows (with correction for the purity of 52.5 %):

Cs=208.3 g/l

RSD = 0.7%

The water solubility cSof the test item at a temperature of 20°C was determined as follows (without correction for the purity):

CS= 396.7 g/l
