Table 1: Recovery

All recovery values are calculated from the measured and unrounded concentration values and not from the rounded values given in Table 1. The recovery of the standards indicated a sufficient accuracy of the analytical method.

 J (c = 260 µg/L)  242.85/237.01  92.3

Table 2: Repeatability

The repeatability was checked by measuring standard F six-fold. The resulting area was used to calculate the standard deviation and the variation coefficient.

 Measurement No.  Area / mAU*s
 1 59.400
 2 59.887 
 3 59.580
 4 59.800
 5  59.594
 6 59.679
 Mean value  59.7
 Standard deviation  0.2
 Variation coefficient / % 0.3

The accuracy of the analytical method was evaluated as sufficient as the variation coefficient of the repeatability measurements was < 2.

Different amounts of the test item and water were stirred at room temperature until the mixture appeared dissolved or the water solubility could be estimated to be below 10 mg/I.

The solubility of the test item in water was found to be below 7.0 mg/I (without correction of the purity). Therefore the column elution method was performed for the determination of the water solubility of the test item.

The coating check was successful. There was enough residual test item remained an the columns after the performance of the column elution method.

Conclusions:
The water solubility of the test item at a temperature of 20°C was found to be below the quantification limit: < 47 µg/L.
Executive summary:

The water solubility of the test item was determined according to OECD 105 and Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 method A.6 using the column elution method with HPLC analysis. 104.9 mg of the test item were dissolved in 100 ml acetone using ultrasonic bath for 10 min 25 ml of this solution was added to about 3 g of sea sand and the mixture was shaken. This procedure was performed for column 1 and column 2. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator (50 °C, 40 mbar). The dry residues were placed into the columns of the test apparatus, which were afterwards filled with water (test temperature: 20 °C; pH of water at 22.9 °C; 5.6). After a swelling time of 2 h the pump was started to rinse the substance coated sand with distilled water. Two identical columns were prepared, one of them was exposed to a flow rate of about 12.5 ml/h (column 1), the other one to about 25.0 ml/h (column 2). Another experiment was performed according to this procedure but without test item ("blank" = column 3). The concentration of test item was determined by means of HPLC. Therefore, the aqueous fractions were diluted from 0.5 ml to 1 ml with acetonitrile. The volumes of all fractions were measured. For the analysed fractions the pH values and the temperatures were measured, too. At the end of the study it was confirmed that residual test item remained on the columns. The residual test item was eluted with 50 ml acetone. The eluate was diluted from 0.1 ml to 20 ml with acetonitrile and again from 0.1 ml to 1 ml with acetonitrile and distilled water (50:50 % v/v). Subsequently the concentration was quantified by HPLC.

The concentration of the test item was quantified by HPLC. The pH of each sample was recorded. The water solubility of the test item at a temperature of 20°C was found to be below the quantification limit: < 47 µg/L.
