Preparation of the test item solution
A quantity of about 1000 mg of LCE10027 was accurately weighed into a 100-mL
volumetric flask. The volume was made with up methanol. The solution was treated with
ultrasounds for 15 minutes before analysis.

Computational methods:

The following discussion provides elements to define the adsorption/desorption coefficient of the test item.

The structure of the substances which make up the test item have a long non-polar chain and a hydrophilic part. Thus, the substances might exhibit surface-active properties.

The partition coefficients of the substances present in the test item as calculated during DEFITRACES’s study 10-919003-001 are very high; this is an indication of the hydrophobic nature of them.

A linear relationship exists between the adsorption/desorption coefficient and the partition coefficient of chemical substances. In the case of hydrophobic substances the relationship is given by the formula:

logKoc = 0.81 x log Pow + 0.10

The following table gives the calculated values of the adsorption/desorption coefficient of the substances defined in the test item.


Substances contained in
LCE10027 % in LCE10027 Value of log Pow Value of log Koc
Dodecanol < 0.5 4.8 4.0
Tetradecanol About 1.5 5.8 4.8
Hexadecanol About 30 6.7 5.5
Octadecanol About 34 7.7 6.3
Dodecylmonoglucoside About 7 2.9 2.4
Tetradecylmonoglucoside About 2.5 3.9 3.3
Hexadecylmonoglucoside About 9 4.9 4.1
Octadecylmonoglucoside About 8.5 5.8 4.8


The adsorption/desorption coefficient of LCE10027 can be estimated to be higher then 2.4 which represents the lowest value of Koc found for the substances which make up the test item. The calculated coefficients indicate that the more hydrophobic the substance is the more it tends to partition into the organic components of the soil and the sewage sludge and becomes associated with these materials.

Executive summary:

Determination of the adsorption / desorption coefficient of LCE10027

In compliance with OECD Guideline No. 121 (2001)

The objective of this study was to estimate the adsorption/desorption coefficient on soil and on sewage sludge using (HPLC) High Performance Liquid Chromatography following the test method (OECD Guideline No. 121, 2001).

The adsorption/desorption coefficient is defined as the ratio between the concentration of the test substance in the soil/sludge and the concentration of the test substance in the aqueous phase at adsorption equilibrium. The adsorption coefficient Koc normalised to the organic carbon of the soil is a useful indicator of the binding capacity of a substance on organic matter of soil or sewage sludge.

No peaks related to the test item could be observed on the chromatographic trace in the interval limited by the reference substances using the method as described in the Guideline.

 

Based on the relationship existing between log K_ocand log P_ow,the adsorption/desorption coefficient of LCE10027 on soil and on sewage sludge can be estimated to be higher then 2.4.
