HPLC Procedure (Dead time method)
The solutions of the test chemical and reference substances were prepared in acetonitrile. each of the reference substances and test chemical were analysed by HPLC.
The column was saturated with solvent (mobile phase) in isocratic mode on below chromatographic conditions. After 20 min of column saturation with mobile phase, sequential analysis of formamide (for dead time: t0), reference substances and test chemical was performed on HPLC. All the HPLC runs were performed in duplicates. Retention time tR was measured to calculate the capacity factors k
(mentioned in below equation no. 1), it was then converted in log to obtain log k. A standard curve between log k versus log Koc was plotted to obtain the value of log Koc of test chemical.

Equation no. 1
K= tR -t0/t0
where
k= capacity factor,
tR= retention time of test substance and reference substance.
t0=retention time of Urea.

Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient Koc in soil and in sewage sludge of test chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 121 for testing of Chemicals. The solutions of the test substance and reference substances were prepared in appropriate solvents. A test chemical solution was prepared by dissolving 4 mg of test chemical in acetonitrile to prepare 400 mg/L and filtered through 0.22 nm nylon syringe filter. pH of the resulting solution was 5.7. Each of the reference substance and test substance were analysed by HPLC at 210 nm. After equilibration of the HPLC system, Urea was injected first, the reference substances were injected in duplicate, followed by the test chemical solution in duplicate. Reference substances were injected again after test sample, no change in retention time of reference substances was observed. Retention time tR were measured, averaged and the decimal logarithms of the capacity factors k were calculated. The graph was plotted between log Koc versus log k.The linear regression parameter of the relationship log Koc vs log k were also calculated from the data obtained with calibration samples and therewith, log Koc of the test substance was determined from its measured capacity factor. The reference substances were chosen according to estimated Koc range of the test substance and generalize calibration graph was prepared. Both were analyzed on HPLC considering the similar conditions. After analyzing on above conditions calibration curve of selected reference substances was prepared to obtain log Koc value. The reference substances were Formamide, 2-Nitrobenzamide, p-Toluamide , Aniline, 2 - Nitrophenol , Benzamide and Phenanthrene having Koc value ranging from 1.3 to 3.7. The Log Koc value of test chemical was determined to be 3.280±0.001 dimensionless at 25°C.This log Koc value indicates that the substance has a moderate sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have slow migration potential to ground water.
