PREPARATION OF REFERENCE STANDARD SOLUTIONS
- Solutions of reference standards were prepared in methanol as shown in Table 3.18 (below).

PREPARATION OF THE DEAD TIME SOLUTION
- The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity quoted by supplier: 99.94%) at 612 mg/L in methanol:water (55:45 v/v).

PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLE SOLUTION
- Test item (0.1039 g) was diluted to 100 mL with methanol.

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIME
- The sample, dead time and reference standard solutions were injected in duplicate using the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) parameters shown in the table below.

CALCULATION OF CAPACITY FACTORS
- Capacity factors were determined using the equation k’ = (tr – t0) / t0 where k’ = capacity factor; tr = retention time (min); t0 = dead time (min)

CONSTRUCTION OF THE CALIBRATON CURVE
- A correlation of Log10 k' versus Log10 Koc of the reference items was plotted using linear regression.
- The capacity factors (k') for the reference items were calculated from the retention time data of the dead time and reference item solutions.
- The Log10 Koc values of the reference standards are those quoted in OECD Method 121.

ADSORPTION COEFFICIENT
- The Log10 Koc value was calculated using the equation Log10 Koc = (Log10 k’ – A) / B where Koc = adsorption coefficient; k’ = capacity factor; A = intercept of the calibration curve; B = slope of the calibration curve

RESULTS
- Typical chromatographs are attached.
- The retention times of the dead time and the retention times, capacity factors and Log10 Koc values for the reference standards are shown in Tables 3.19 and 3.20 (attached).
- The retention times, capacity factors and Log10 Koc values for the sample are shown in Table 3.21 (below).

Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

The determination was carried out 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.

 

METHODS

The test utilised a High Performance Liquid Chromatograph and a commercially available cyanopropyl reverse phase HPLC column containing lipophilic and polar moieties was used. The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity quoted by supplier: 99.94%) at 612 mg/L in methanol:water (55:45 v/v). Solutions of reference standards were prepared in methanol and test item (0.1039 g) was diluted to 100 mL with methanol.

 

RESULTS

The adsorption coefficient of the test item was determined to be > 1.63 x 10E04 with Log10 Koc > 4.21.

Description of key information

The adsorption coefficient of the test item was determined to be > 1.63 x 10E04 with Log10 Koc > 4.21 (OECD 121 and EU Method C.19).
