EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: Agilent Technologies 1100 Series
- Type: HPLC system
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column:
Eclipse XDB-CN 5μm (150 x 4.6 mm i.d.)
- Detection system: variable wavelength (VW); 210 nm (dead time and standards) 280 nm (sample)

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: Methanol: purified water (55:45 v/v)
- Experiments with additives carried out on separate columns: N/A
- pH: 6.1
- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances:
Sample solution and reference standards: methanol
Dead time solution: mobile phase

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: by inert substances which are not retained by the column

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: acetanilide, atrazine, triadimenol, linuron, naphthalene, endosulfan-diol, fenthion, α-Endosulfan, phenanthrene, diclofop-methyl, DDT

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: 10 μL
- Quantity of reference substances: 10 µL

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: 2

EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k':
k' = (tr-t0)/t0
where:
k' = capacity factor
tr = retention time (min)
t0 = dead time (min)

- Construction of the calibration curve:
A correlation of log k' versus log Koc of the reference standards was plotted using linear regression. The capacity factors (k') for the reference standards were calculated using the equation above. Log10 Koc values are those quoted in Method 121 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

- Determination of the log Koc value:
log Koc = (log k' - A)/B
where:
Koc = adsorptopm coefficient
k' = capacity factor
A = intercept of the calibration curve
B = slope of the calibration curve

Discussion

The chromatography demonstrated several minor peaks which are considered to be impurities and therefore have not been reported.

The test item has predicted dissociation constants of 4.1 ± 0.5 and 12.2 ± 0.6 (using ACD/Labs I-Lab 2.0 - ilab.acdlabs.com, algorithm version: v5.0.0.184). Therefore, testing was performed at pH 6.1 with the test item mostly in its non-ionized form.

As the slope of the calibration curve for the reference standards showed good first order correlation and as the retention times between duplicate injections for each solution was consistent, the HPLC method was considered valid for the determination of adsorption coefficient.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

not applicable

Conclusions:

The adsorption coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 121, log10 Koc 2.08. These values indicate that the mobility of the test item will be high.

Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 121, log10Koc 2.08 using the HPLC screening method, designed to be compatible with Method 121 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 22 January 2001, Method C.19 Adsorption Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008. These values indicate that the mobility of the test item will be high.
