Details on study design: HPLC method:

The test system utilized a high performance liquid chromatograph. A commercially available cyanopropyl reverse phase HPLC column containing lipophilic and polar moieties was used.


Performance of the Test
Preparation of sample solution
Test item (0.1017 g) was diluted to 100 mL with mobile phase. This solution was further diluted by a factor of 10 using mobile phase.

Preparation of dead time solution
The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity*: 99.94 %, 604 mg/L solution in mobile phase).
* Value quoted by supplier.

Determination of retention time
The sample, dead time and reference standard solutions were injected in duplicate using the following HPLC parameters:

HPLC System: Agilent Technologies 1100 Series
Detector type: Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD)
Column: Waters XSelect HSS CYANO 5µm (150 x 4.6 mm id)
Column temperature: 30 ºC
Mobile phase: Acetonitrile: purified water (55:45 v/v)
pH of mobile phase: 6.5
Flow-rate: 1.0 mL/min
Injection volume: 10 µL
VWD wavelength: dead time and reference standards: 210 nm
sample: 590 nm

Calculation
Construction of calibration curve
A calibration curve was constructed from the retention time data of the dead time and reference standard solutions. The capacity factors (k') for the reference standards were calculated using the equation below

Adsorption coefficient of sample
The capacity factor was calculated using the equation below and the log10 Koc value determined using the equation below with reference to the calibration curve.


Capacity factor
The capacity factor was determined using the equation below:

k’ = (tr – t0) / t0

where:
k' = capacity factor
tr = retention time (min)
t0 = dead time (min)

A correlation of log k' versus log Koc of the calibration standards was plotted using linear regression.

Capacity factor
The capacity factor was determined using the equation below:

k’ = (tr – t0) / t0

where:
k' = capacity factor
tr = retention time (min)
t0 = dead time (min)

A correlation of log k' versus log Koc of the calibration standards was plotted using linear regression.


Adsorption Coefficient
The adsorption coefficient was calculated using the equation below:

Log10 Koc = (Log10 k’ – A) / B

where:
Koc = adsorption coefficient
k' = capacity factor
A = intercept of the calibration curve
B = slope of the calibration curve

The mobility classification of the test item was obtained by comparing the calculated Koc value to the mobility classes according to P.J. McCall, R.L. Swann, D.A. Laskowski, S.M. Unger, S.A. Vrona and H.J. Dishburger “Estimation of Chemical Mobility in Soil from Liquid Chromatography Retention Times”; Bull. Environm. Contam. Toxicol. 24, 190-195 (1980).
