HPLC method

Details on study design: HPLC method:

A sample of BPA-Tars was dissolved in acetonitrile at a concentration of approximately 1.7 mg/mL for loading onto the HPLC column. Calibration substances were dissolved in acetonitrile/deionized water 1:1. An HP 1200 High Performance Liquid Chrromatograph (HPLC) was used for assessment. The operation conditions were: Column type LiChrospher 100 CN, particle diameter 5 um, length 250 mm and inner diameter 5 um. The Mobile phase was deionized water at pH 6 and acetonitrile 1:1 and the Flow rate was 1.5 mL/min. The Injection volume was 2 uL and the ccolumn temperature was 40 degrees C. Detection was by UV at 216 nm.

Batch equilibrium or other method

Computational methods:

The adsorption coefficient was deduced from the capacity factor (k), given by the expression where, tR is the retention time of the test substance, and t0 is the dead-time, i.e. the average time a solvent molecule needs to pass the HPLC column. Linear-regression was employeed form data extrapolation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

Based on area - % weighted Log Koc for all HPLC peaks of the test substance 2-Acetone polymer with phenol (BPA-Tars) the calculated Log Koc is 2.8. This finding suggests that BPA-Tars will have low mobility in soil. However, this Log Koc value indicates that BPA-Tars is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment if released to the aquatic environment.

Executive summary:

2 -Acetone polymer with phenol (BPA-Tars) was assessed by an O.E.C.D. Testing Guideline No. 121 HPLC method to derive a Absorption/Desorption coeficient (Koc). Based on area - % weighted Log Koc for all HPLC peaks of the test substance BPA-Tars, the calculated Log Koc is 2.8. This finding suggests that BPA-Tars will have low mobility in soil. However, this Log Koc value indicates that BPA-Tars is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment if released to the aquatic environment.
