The retention times, capacity factors and logio Koc values determined for the sample are shown in the following table:


























 Peak   Retention time (mins)       Capacity factor (k)     Log10 k    Log10 Koc    
injection 1 injection 2 Mean 
 15.661 5.656 5.658 1.85 0.267 3.80 

 


Log10 Koc : 3.80


Adsorption coefficient: 6.28* 103


 


Discussion


The mobile phase was used at an approximately neutral pH as the test item had no dissociation constants within the environmentally relevant pH range.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test item has been determined to be 6.28 x 10E3, log10 Koc 3.80.
Executive summary:

6.28 x 103, log10Koc 3.80, using the HPLC screening method, designed to be compatible with Method C19 Adsorption Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 121 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 22 January 2001.

Additional information

The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test item has been determined in a study according to EU Method C.19 (Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (KOC) on Soil and Sewage Sludge Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)). The mobile phase was used at an approximately neutral pH as the test item had no dissociation constants within the environmentally relevant pH range.


The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test item has been determined to be 6.28 x 10E3, log10 Koc 3.80.
