EQUIPMENT
- Test system: Analytical HPLC-column (based on silica matrix) packed with a cyanopropyl solid phase containing non-polar and polar moieties coupled to DAD. Methanol and HPLC water in a ratio 55 : 45 was used as mobile phase.
- HPLC-DAD system HPLC AGILENT 1100 consisting of:
Auto sampler : G1329A
Auto sampler thermostat : G1330B
Degasser . G1322A
Column oven : G1316A
Detector (test system) . G1315B
Pump : G1312A
Software " Empower 2 (Build No: 2154), WATERS
- HPLC column: YMC-Pack Cyano, 250 x 4.0 mm, S-5 μm, 12 nm, batch 11334, YMC EUROPE GMBH

MOBILE PHASES
- Methanol : HPLC water (55 : 45)
This mobile phase allowed the determination of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) for the test item in a reasonable period with suitable chromatographic properties for the test and reference items. No buffer was used because the adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test item is independent on the pH value for this test item.
- Column temperature: 20 - 25 °C
- System Suitability: The suitability of the column was confirmed according to the guidelines by the data given below: log k' > 0 for log Koc = 3.02 (Endosulfan-diol) and log k' > -0,4 for log Koc = 1.95 (3-Nitrobenzamide) by using methanol/water 55/45 % as mobile phase.

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: NaNO3 was used for determination of dead time.

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: Acetanilide, Atrazine, Monuron, Linuron, Phenyl benzoate, Fenthion and Phenanthrene

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: Single (three injections) Stock solution: 200 mg/L in methanol; Test concentration: 110 mg/L; Dilution: With HPLC water to mobile phase ratio
- Quantity of reference substances: Two injections (one before and one after the analysis of the test item); Three injections for NaNO3 at the beginning of the sample set. Stock solution: 100 mg/L each in methanol; 100 mg/L in HPLC-water for NaNO3; Test concentration: 5 mg/L; Dilution: With methanol and HPLC water to mobile phase ratio
- Calibration: Calibrations were performed using seven reference items for soil and six for sewage sludge with known log Koc values.

Results of Test Item Analysis:
For each peak two individual log Koc values for soil and for sewage sludge for the test item were derived under consideration of the first and second calibration. Finally a mean value for soil and for sewage sludge was calculated from these individual log KOC values.
Soil:
For the first peak an individual log KOC value of 2.0 ± 0.1 (95 % CI 1.6 to 2.4) was obtained with both calibrations. The individual values did not differ more than ± 0.25 log KOC values. Based on these data a mean value of 2.0 was derived.
For the second peak an individual log KOC value of 2.3 ± 0.1 (95 % CI 2.0 to 2.7) was obtained with both calibrations. The individual values did not differ more than ± 0.25 log KOC values. Based on these data a mean value of 2.3 was derived.

For the first peak an individual log Koc value of 2.0 ± 0.2 (95 % CI 1.5 to 2.5) was obtained with both calibrations. The individual values did not differ more than ± 0.25 log Koc values. Based on these data a mean value of 2.0 was derived.
For the second peak an individual log Koc value of 2.5 ± 0.2 (95 % CI 2.0 to 2.9) was obtained with both calibrations. The individual values did not differ more than ± 0.25 log Koc values. Based on these data a mean value of 2.5 was derived.

Validity Criteria

The validity criteria were fulfilled:

A signal-to-noise ratio > 3 was provided for NaNO3, reference and the test items.

The value of logKocderived from repeated measurements made under identical conditions and using the same set of reference items fell within a range of ± 0.25 log units.

The column temperature during the measurement was kept in the range of 20-25 ± 1 °C and did not differ more than ± 1 °C.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The adsorption coefficient log Koc of the test item was determined to be 2.0 for the first peak and 2.3 for the second peak in soil and 2.0 for the first peak and 2.5 for the second peak in sewage sludge.

Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient (log Koc) for the test item on soil and on sewage sludge using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was estimated according to OECD 121 guideline with GLP compliance.

 

The test was performed temperature controlled, (23.6 °C, mean value) with a mobile phase consisting of 55 % methanol and 45 % HPLC water. A 110 mg/L sample of the test item was analyzed threefold via HPLC on a cyanopropyl (CN-) column with DAD-detection.

 

Calibrations were performed using seven reference items for soil and six for sewage sludge with known log Koc values (given by the guidelines). The reference items were measured twice, once before and once after the measurement (double injection of one replicate) of the test item. Dead time of the HPLC- system was determined with sodium nitrate.

 

For each peak two individual log Koc values for soil and for sewage sludge for the test item were derived under consideration of the first and second calibration. Finally a mean value for soil and for sewage sludge was calculated from these individual log Koc values. Based on these data a log Koc of 2.0 for the first peak and 2.3 for the second peak for soil and a log Koc 2.0 for the first peak and 2.5 for the second peak for sewage sludge were determined for test item.

 

The adsorption coefficient log Koc of the test item was determined to be 2.0 for the first peak and 2.3 for the second peak in soil and 2.0 for the first peak and 2.5 for the second peak in sewage sludge.
