Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Adsorption / desorption
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- adsorption / desorption: screening
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 121 (Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (Koc) on Soil and on Sewage Sludge using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC))

- Type of method:
- HPLC estimation method
- Media:
- soil
- Sample No.:
- #1
- Type:
- Koc
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable because of methodological limitations
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- No determination was possible according to 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, due to the following reason:
An assessment of the test item indicated that it would be positively ionized (protonated amines) across the environmentally relevant pH range. Therefore, it is anticipated that adsorption to the organic carbon content of soils and sediments will not be the dominant mechanism controlling the mobility of the test item in the environment. Adsorption of cationic species occurs primarily by an ion-exchange mechanism and thus depends on the cation-exchange capacity of the soils as well as a variety of other parameters (Boethling, R. S. 1994. Environmental aspects of cationic surfactants. In J. Cross and E. J. and Singer (ed.), Cationic Surfactants: Analytical and Biological Evaluation, vol. 53. Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, USA.). Consequently, the true adsorption coefficient of the test item will be significantly higher than any Koc value determined by the EC C.19 / OECD 121 method and via any computer-based Koc estimation software. - Executive summary:
No determination was possible according to 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, due to the following reason:

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
