- Executive summary:
The determination was not carried out using the HPLC screening method, designed to be compatible with Method 121 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 22 January 2001 and Method C19 Adsorption Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 as the method was shown not to be applicable.
The HPLC method is not applicable to strong acids. Although the magnesium sulfonate target substance (CAS 231297-75-9) is not an acid, the sulphonate group is the conjugate base to sulphonic acid. When dissolved in a polar solution, the substance will dissociate since it requires an anion exchange column to obtain consistent retention times. However, under environmental conditions, dissociation of the substance is not possible (only in presence of a strong acid). Trial injections were attempted on a cyanopropyl (CN) column with a mobile phase of methanol:water (55:45 v/v) but the peak detected varied in the retention time for each injection separately. It can be assumed, that secondary interactions occurred.
Anionic sulphonate components would need to be analyzed at a pH far below the limits of the test (pH 4.5 to 8.5). However, the adsorption coefficient would then be determined for the dissociated organic component and not for the full, nondissociated structure.
Based on these considerations, the adsorption coefficient of the nondissociated test substance is expected to be significantly higher than the value which would result by a HPLC determination.
KOCWINv2.00 (Sept 2010) revealed a logKoc of 13.3 based on the representative structure. This value was calculated using alkyl chains of 20 carbons and longer (C22, C24) would result in an even higher estimate.
