[14C]-C22 ATQ Adsorption Desorption test according OECD 106

Cationic surfactants do not only sorb via van der Waal forces but also by ionic interactions (e.g ion pair formation, cation exchange). So far no mechanistic model exists to estimate the sorption behaviour of these substances. Therefore measurements are warranted to address the sorption to solid phases reliably. Sorption was measured in three different soils, one sediment and one secondary sludge. The Freundlich isotherms for the different matrices are non-linear (1/n < 1). As the lowest tested concentration is used for the exposure assessment Table 5.4-1 below lists the Kd and Koc at that concentration which allows to judge the sorption behaviour without a calculation excerise using the Freundlich isotherm.

 The Koc values from the OECD 106 study were used in the Environmental exposure assessment of C20/22 ATQ carried out with the EUSES model. As EUSES assigns certain percentages of organic carbon (OC) to the different compartments, Kd values for EUSES were calculate from the available Koc as given in the table 5.4-2

Henry’s Law Constant (HLC)

The HLC of C20/22 ATQ can be calculated from vapour pressure (IUCLID Section 4.6) water solubility (IUCLID Section 4.8). The Exposure assessment tool EUSES 2.1 recalculates the HLC of 3.6*E-3 Pa*m3*mol-1at 25 degree C to 1.7*E-3 Pa*m3*mol-1at the environmental temperature of 12 degree C. The dimensionless air-water partitioning coefficient is calculated to 7.4*E-7 m3/m3. The HLC shows that volatilisation of C20/22 ATQ from aqueous solutions is very low.
