In an OECD 106 "Adsorption Desorption Using a Batch Equilibrium Method" test, five type soils with different pH, texture, clay content and organic carbon contents sampling from Jilin (A black soil), Jiangxi (B red soil), Jiangsu (C paddy soil), Shandong (D brown soil) and Gansu (E meadow soil) provinces of China were selected. Batch equilibrium method was adopted, and preliminary test, adsorption/desorption kinetics test and adsorption/desorption isotherms test were performed to determine the adsorption characteristics of test substance in this study.

- Details on results (HPLC method):
- The test item was an organic salt with the cationic component being a quaternary ammonium compound. The test method is not applicable in determining the adsorption coefficient of quaternary ammonium compounds since adsorption is dominated by cationic exchange. The cationic exchange capacity of a soil significantly affects the adsorption of quaternary ammonium compounds. Methods C.19 and OECD 121 do not address cationic exchange potential of soils. Therefore no result for the cation was possible.
For additional confirmation, the sample and blank were analysed using mass spectrometry. This was done to confirm the presence of the anionic component of the test item using an m/z of 101. From the typical chromatography, it can be seen there is a peak in the sample only which coincides with the peak from the UV detection.
During trials using mass spectrometry, the cationic component was not detected with a column or without a column. It was considered that it may have adsorbed essentially irreversibly and any that eluted did so gradually and not as a detectable specific peak. This was not an issue as the test was not applicable, as mentioned above. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The adsorption coefficient for the anionic component of Methanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, salt with 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid a.k.a. Tetramethylammonium Pivalate Salt., has been determined to be less than 17.8, log10 Koc of <1.25, using the HPLC screening method.
- Executive summary:
The adsorption coefficient for the anionic component of Methanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-, salt with 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid a.k.a. Tetramethylammonium Pivalate Salt., has been determined to be less than 17.8, log10 Koc of <1.25, using the HPLC screening method, designed to be compatible with Method C.19 Adsorption Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 121 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 22 January 2001.
As the cationic component of the test item was a quaternary ammonium compound, the test methods were not applicable since adsorption of cations is in part due to cationic exchange.
