Guideline:

OECD Guideline 121 (Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (Koc) on Soil and on Sewage Sludge using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC))

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography on Octadecyl-modified silica based stationary phase is used.
Partitioning on the column occurs in order of hydrophobicity when a suitable mobile phase is used. From relationship between the measured retention times and the adsorption coefficient on organic matter of reference substances, the sorption coefficient of the test substance is calculated.

PREPARATION PROCEDURE
Preparation of Reference substances:
Twenty eight reference substances Acetanilide, 2-nitrobenzamide, 4-chloroaniline, 4-methylaniline(p-Tolouidine), N-methylaniline, p-toluamide, Aniline, 2,5-Dichloroaniline, 4-nitrophenol, 3-nitrobenzamide, Nitrobenzene, 4-Nitrobenzamide, 1-naphtol, Direct Red 81, Benzoic acid methylester, Carbendazim, Benzoic acid phenylester, Xylene, Ethylbenzene, Toluene, Naphthalene, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene, Pentachlorophenol, N,Ndimethylbenzamide, 3,5-dinitrobenzamide, N-methylbenzamide, Benzamide, phenanthrene were chosen having Koc value range from 1.25 to 4.09. Individual solutions of these twenty eight substances were prepared in Acetonitrile with concentrations of 500 mg/l.
Urea (at concentration of 500 mg/l) was used as an unretained compound for the determination of the “dead

HPLC PROCEDURE:
The solutions of the test substance and reference substances were prepared in solvent mentioned in 4.3. Each of the reference substance and test substance were analysed by HPLC at 210 nm.
After equilibration of the HPLC system, Urea was injected first, the reference substances were injected in duplicate, followed by the test chemical solution in duplicate. Reference substances were injected again after test sample, no change in retention time of reference substances was observed. Retention time tR were measured, averaged and the decimal logarithms of the capacity factors k were calculated. The graph was plotted between log Koc versus log k(Annex - 2).The linear regression parameter of the relationship log Koc vs log k were also calculated from the data obtained with calibration samples and therewith, log Koc of the test substance was determined from its measured capacity factor.

Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient Koc in soil and in sewage sludge Ammonium iodide (CAS No. 12027 -06 -4) was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method. The reference substances were chosen according to estimated Koc range of the test substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared.

The reference substances have Koc value ranging from 1.25 to 4.09. The Log Koc value of test chemical Ammonium iodide was determined to be 1.275 dimensionless at 25°C. Based on the value of log Koc it is concluded that this test chemical has negligible sorption to soil and sediments and therefore has rapid migration potential to ground water.
