EQUIPMENT
The method uses HPLC for estimation of the adsorption coefficient, Koc.
The dual composition of the stationary phase having polar and non-polar sites allows for interaction of polar and non-polar groups of a molecule in a similar way, as in the case for organic matter in soil or sewage sludge matrices.

MOBILE PHASES
Reference substances were dissolved in methanol. Concentration of these stock solutions was about 1 mg/ml.
These stock solutions were diluted with the mobile phase resulting in about 10 g/ml solutions.
4,4-Diaminodiphenylether was also dissolved in methanol. The concentration of this solution was 0.5 mg/ml. This stock solution was diluted with mobile phase resulting in about 10 g/ml solutions.

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
Dead time, t0 was determined by the injection of sodium nitrate solution.

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
Seven chemicals for which log Koc has been reported were used to calibrate the elution time in units of log Koc. The reference substances utilised in the study are detailed below in Table 1.


DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
Three series of the above reference solutions and the test item solution were measured alternately, with two replicate injections.
For the determination of t0 (t0 = retention time of the unretarded component) sodium nitrate solution was injected.
The retention times were determined.

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: 3

EVALUATION
The capacity factors, k’ were calculated from the retention times (tR) of the selected reference substances and the dead time (t0):

k’ = tR-t0 / t0

A calibration plot of log k' versus log Koc was prepared. The calibration equation was determined by linear regression using the least squares method.
Repeatability is the difference of maximum and minimum values of log Koc derived from individual measurements.
Accuracy is the difference between the estimated log Koc and the log Koc value determined by the batch equilibrium method.

Details on results (HPLC method):

The three calibration series and three test item series were measured alternately. The adsorption coefficient Koc was determined based on a calibration curve using 7 reference items.
The capacity factors k’ were calculated from the dead time and retention times of the reference substances. The log k’ data of the reference substances were plotted against their log Koc values. The resulting calibration curve and the respective data are provided below. The equation of the curve fitted to the calibration points is as follows:
log k' = 0.419 * log Koc - 0.856 (Rsq = 0.976)

- Retention times of reference substances used for calibration: These are detailed in Table 2.
