- Executive summary:
The estimation of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soil and on sewage sludge using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was carried out according to the principles of the OECD Guideline 121. Calibration was performed using six reference items with known values of log Koc and the capacity factor k' was calculated from the dead time of the HPLC-system for each reference item. The measured HPLC - retention data of the test item were calculated and were used for the estimation of the adsorption coefficient from the calibration graph (Log Koc versus log k').
The estimated range of log Koc for the test item is 1.54 -1.78, SD = 0.006 which corresponds to a Koc range of 35 - 60.
Conclusion

Additional information
Direct Black 168 is expected to have a low potential for absorption, on the basis of the partition coefficient; the log Pow was determined to be lower than 4 at 20 °C and pH 6. The organic carbon-water partition coefficient was estimated using EUSES v.2.1 to be 0.09 (log koc: -1.06).
In order to deeper investigate the substance characteristics, the available data on the structural analogous Similar Substance 01 has been considered. Similar Substance 01 shares with Direct Black 168 the same scaffold chemical structure base; the differences are considered to be not able to impact the study outcomes, thus the read across can be considered as reliable and apporopriated to evaluate the endpoint (details on read-across approach are given in the IUCLID section 13).
The estimation of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) of Similar Substance 01 was carried out using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), according to the OECD Guideline 121. Calibration was performed using six reference items with known values of log Koc and the capacity factor k' was calculated from the dead time of the HPLC-system for each reference item. The estimated range of log Koc for the test item was 1.54 -1.78 (SD = 0.006), which corresponds to a Koc range of 35 - 60.
Despite the difference in values recorded, both estimated values on Direct Black 168 and Similar Substance 01 agree to define the same behaviour, i.e. that the substance can be considered as mobile in soil.
Therefore, the experimental data on the analogous has been used in order to estimate the suspended matter-water and soil-water partition coefficients, which are needed to the calculation of the PNECs for sediment and soil, according to the equilibrium partitioning method.
Suspended matter-water partition coefficient: 1.78 - 2.4 (log Ksusp 0.25 - 0.38)
Soil-water partition coefficient: 1.43 - 2.18 (log Ksoil 0.15 - 0.34)
