Preliminary visual estimation of the n-octanol solubility

Different amounts of the test item were stirred with increasing volumes of n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved parts.

According to this preliminary test the solubility of the test item in n-octanol was within the range 149 – 229 g/L (without correction for the purity).

Calculation of the partition coefficient log POW from the preliminary test

The partition coefficient POWmay be estimated from the saturation concentrations in n-octanol and water. The estimated partition coefficient was calculated with the water solubility data determined in project 20170187.05 (cS = 21 g/L) and the data obtained above. It was calculated to be: log POW < 1. Therefore according to the guidelines the partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item at room temperature was determined by the HPLC method.

HPLC method

The results from the HPLC method are summarized inTable3to Table 7.
