Validation

Organic phase: The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 10 to 100 mg/L. The results were satisfactory with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.998 being obtained.

 

Aqueous phase: The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 20 to 200 mg/L. The results were satisfactory with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.999 being obtained.

Conclusions:
Please see the Executive Summary Section below for the Conclusion.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using the shake-flask method, designed to be compatible with Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 107 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

 

The test system consisted of an aqueous and an n-octanol phase in the same vessel. A defined amount of test item was added (pre-dissolved in the appropriate phase). Partition of the test item between both phases was achieved by repeated inversion of the mixture. The temperature was in the range of 20 to 25 °C and kept constant (± 1 °C).

Conclusion

The partition coefficient of the test item at pH 7 has been determined to be 0.226 and a log10 Powof -0.653 at 23.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was tested in its ionized form.

Description of key information

The partition coefficient of the test item at pH 7 has been determined to be 0.226 and a log10 Pow of -0.653 at 23°C. The test item was tested in its ionized form and will be essentially ionized throughout the environmentally relevant pH range (5.5 to 7.5).

An estimated log Kow (log Pow) of 1.11 has been determiend for the test item in its unionized form.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-0.653
