Results

 

Preliminary Test (MT 181)

The recorded observations for the contents of the cylinder after each addition ofn-octanol are shown in the following table:

Table 1

Total Volume of n-Octanol Added (mL)	Saturation Concentration (g/L)	Observations
0.5	206	Opaque, off-white liquid with excess test substance present
1	103	Opaque, off-white liquid with excess test substance present
2	51.5	Translucent liquid with excess test substance present
3	34.3	Translucent liquid with excess test substance present
4	25.8	Translucent liquid with excess test substance present
5	20.6	Translucent liquid with excess test substance present
10	10.3	Translucent liquid with excess test substance present

The solubility was estimated to be less than 10 g/L and definitive testing was continued using the adapted flask method.

 

Preliminary Test (Adapted Flask Method)

The preliminary estimate of the octanol solubility at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C was 14.3 g/L.

 

Definitive Test (Adapted Flask Method)

The mean peak areas relating to the solutions are shown in the following table:

The calibration curve from which the sample concentrations were interpolated is attached in background material section of the IUCLID.

 

The concentration (g/L) of test substance in the sample solutions is shown in the following table:

Table 3

Sample Number	Time Shaken at ~ 30 ºC (h)	Concentration (g/L)
1	24	21.0
2	48	21.5
3	72	21.2

Mean concentration: 21.2 g/L at 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC

 

Discussion

This resultshas been obtained considering the test substance as a whole. As the test substance is a complex mixture, the solubility of the individual constituents may differ. The MT-181 preliminary result suggested the solubility was less than 10 g/L and less than the definitive result; this may have been due the longer shaking times and higher temperature (30°C) used in the flask method allowing for a greater dissolution.

 

Conclusion

The octanol solubility of the test substance has been determined to be 21.2 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5°C.

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, the n-octanol solubility of the test substance was determined to be 21.2 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5°C.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the n-octanol solubility of the test substance using adapted flask method, according to OECD Guideline 105 and EU Methos A.6. Under the study conditions, the n-octanol solubility of the test substance was determined to be 21.2 g/L at 20.0 ± 0.5°C (Envigo, 2018).
