- PRELIMINARY TEST:
Six 100 mL pre-calibrated volumetric flasks were nearly filled with the appropriate buffer (two at each pH) at 50°C. Each flask was then spiked with 500 µL of the 500.49 µg/mL spiking solution (test substance in acetonitrile). The flasks were then made to the mark (50°C level) with the appropriate buffer, ultrasonicated for 5 minutes and then thoroughly shaken to give nominal concentrations of 2.5025 µg/mL.
Immediately, an aliquot (ca. 20 mL) of each buffered solution was poured into separate polystop bottles and cooled in a water bath at 20°C for ca 30 minutes prior to analysis (t = 0 hours). The flasks containing the remainder of each solution were stoppered, covered in aluminium foil to exclude light and placed in a water bath at 50°C.
After 2.4 hours and 5 days, further aliquots (ca 20 mL) of each buffered solution were taken and cooled as before, prior to analysis (t = 2.4 hours, 5 days).
TESTS 1 and 3 (at pH 5):
100 mL volumetric flasks were pre-calibrated at 50°C, 60°C and 70°C. The same procedure as the preliminary test was employed with just two flasks at each temperature (50°C, 60°C and 70°C) being spiked with 200 µL of ca 750 µg/mL of the spiking solution in acetone. Nominal concentrations of 1.4919 µg/mL (test 1) and 1.5292 µg/mL (test 3) were obtained. Aliquots were removed at t = 0 hours and various time points between 20 and 70% hydrolysis at 50°C for test 1 and three time points, two of which where greater than 30% hydrolysis had occurred (both at 60°C and 70°C) for test 3.
IDENTIFICATION OF HYDROLYSIS PRODUCTS:
The hydrolysis product of simazine was determined by retention time; a comparison was made between hydrolysed simazine and a client-supplied simazine derivative, simazine-2-hydroxy by HPLC.

Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- After 5 days at 50°C, 16.4% hydrolysis occurred at pH 5 and no hydrolysis at pH 7 or 9. These results indicated that test 1 was required at pH 5 only.
- Test performance:
- A straight line plot was obtained for test 1 results, indicating pseudo first order behaviour. Therefore, test 3 was performed instead of test 2 (which is for non-pseudo first order behaviour).
In Test 3, the rate constants at 60°C and 70°C were calculated as 0.077889 and 0.16415 days-1, respectively, providing half-life times of 8.9 and 4.2 days. - Transformation products:

- HYDROLYSIS:
According to the test method it can be estimated that 50% hydrolysis occurring in 2.4 hours at 50°C is equivalent to a half-life time of 1 day at 25°C and 10% hydrolysis occurring in 5 days at 50°C is equivalent to a half-life time of 1 year at 25°C.
Applying these criteria to the results obtained for simazine, the half-life at 25°C can be estimated to be greater than 1 year at pH 7 and 9. As no hydrolysis occurred after 5 days at 50°C, rate constants and half-lives could not be calculated at this temperature.
The half-life time at pH 5 was estimated to be 179 days at 25°C in test 3.
IDENTIFICATION OF HYDROLYSIS PRODUCTS:
Hydrolysis simazine and simazine-2-hydroxy both exhibited a slightly misshapen peak at 10.8 minutes which was not observed in the simazine solution. All the standards showed some minor peaks earlier in their chromatograms.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Calibration data gave correlation coefficients ranging between 0.99559 and 0.99999, showing the detector response to be linear in the concentration ranges employed.
Some spuriously high recoveries were obtained in the preliminary test, but these were not considered to invalidate the study. Use of lower concentrations in tests 1 and 3 produced recoveries around 100% (90.6% - 106.7%).
No peaks at the characteristic retention volume of the test substance were obtained in the chromatograms of the blank solutions, indicating that the analytical procedure was free from interferences.
