TEST DESCRIPTION
- The main test was performed by isocratic elution with acetonitrile/water in a ratio of 50 : 50 %.
- For the main test 24.4 mg of the dead time marker formamide were dissolved in 25 mL acetonitrile.
- Between 12.2 mg and 21.6 mg of the reference materials (Acetanilide, Atrazine, Triadimenol, Linuron, 1,2,3-Trichloro benzene, Diclofop-methyl and 4,4’-DDT) were dissolved in 25 mL acetonitrile.
- 81.4 mg of the test material were dissolved in 25 mL acetonitrile.
- The dead time marker (Formamide) was injected and measured twice before the reference materials and the test material. After that two series of measurements of the reference and test materials were performed, wherein the reference substances and the test material were injected separately into the mobile phase.

HPLC METHOD

Stationary phase: Nucleosil 100-5 CN, Macherey-Nagel
Column length: 150 mm
Column inner diameter: 4.6 mm
Pore size: 5 µm
Column temperature: 20 °C
Injection volume: 10 µL
Solvent flow: 1 mL/min
Wave length: Dead time marker and test material: 210 nm, Reference materials: 254 nm

- Quality criteria: The value of log KOC derived from repeated measurements made under identical conditions and using the same set of reference materials should fall within a range of ±0.25 log units.
Typically, the correlation coefficient r for the relationship between log k and log KOC for a set of test substances is around 0.95.

MAIN TEST
- After the measurements of the retention times tR the log k values of the reference materials were plotted as a function of their log KOC values. The adsorption coefficient of the test material was obtained by interpolation of the calculated capacity factor on the calibration graph of the reference materials.
- Mean retention time of the dead time marker: 1.956 minutes
- Retention times of the reference materials (1st and 2nd measurements) can be seen in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. The first measurement and the linear regression of the calibration graph leads to an equation for the log Koc of:

log Koc = 5.617·logk + 4.015 correlation coefficient r=0.9822.

The second measurement and the linear regression of the calibration graph leads to an equation for the log Koc of:

log Koc = 5.685·logk + 4.053 correlation coefficient r=0.9801.

With the determined regression coefficients a and b, the log Koc of the test material can be calculated for both measurements.
- The retention times and calculation of log Koc for the test material can be seen in Table 3. The test material has an adsorption coefficient at 20 °C of:

log Koc = 2.59 ± 0.08
Koc = 386 ± 72.
