2. Rivers, lake and sea: surface water and surface soil which were in contact with atmosphere were collected.

- Method of cultivation: about 30 minutes after ceasing aeration to the sludge mixture, supernatant corresponding to about 1/3 of the whole volume was removed. Then the equal volume of dechlorinated water was added to the remaining portion and aerated again, followed by addition of synthetic sewage at a concentration of 0.1% (w/v). This procedure was repeated once every day. The culturing was carried out at 25 ± 2 °C. 5 L of the filtrate of the supernatant of old activated sludge was mixed with 500 mL of the filtrate of the supernatant of new sludge and cultured at pH 7.0 ± 1.0 under sufficient aeration using prefiltered open air. During the cultivation, appearance of the supernatant, precipitability, formation of flock, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration in the solution and temperature were checked and necessary adjustments were made, Microflora in the activated sludge was microscopically observed and sludge with no abnormal symptom was used for the test.

At any of the time points mentioned in the TG-318, the influence of Ca is critical. Regardless of pH, the pigment is categorized at the 24h-sampling time as “unstable” in 10 mM Ca, representing high water hardness.

After 6h, the samples showed high dispersion stability in 0 mM Ca and at pH 9 in 1 mM Ca. Stability at all other conditions was either intermediate (pH 4 and 7 in 1 mM Ca) or low (all samples in 10 mM Ca).

After 24 hoursthe stability for samplesin 0 mM Ca at pH 7 and 9 was high. For the samples at pH 4 in 0 mM Ca and at pH 9 in 1 mM Ca the stability was intermediate. The stability at all other conditions was low.

To rationalize the observed dispersion stability, we finally checked the particle size distribution directly in the environmental medium (exact same sample preparation as for the UV/VIS measurements). We applied the NanoDefine method of Analytical Ultracentrifugation (SOP AUC-RI). The centrifugation parameters are given in the methods section.

The observed size distributions confirm the moderate agglomeration at 1 mM Ca, pH7, with NOM. If the particles would have been significantly dissolved, no size distribution would be observable at all by this method, which relies on the detection of the movement of particles during centrifugal separation.

Additionally, the centrifugation methods include a determination of the remaining absorption after centrifugation, fully consistent with the conventional determination of the dissolved fraction after centrifugation as recommended by the TG-318. The remaining absorption was measured at c.a 0.031.This is a fraction of 2.1% of the initial absorption, but actually is close to the LOD of the built-in UV/Vis detector. Considering the LOD, between 0% and 2.1% of the sample may have been dissolved.

All evidence combined, the results after centrifugation confirm that at least 97.9% of the observed dispersion stability has to be attributed to the particles, not to dissolution.

Executive summary:

The dispersion stability of Pigment Red 48:1 depends especially on pH and water hardness. In 0 mM Ca at pH 7 and 9 the stability was high. At pH 4 in 0 mM Ca and at pH 9 in 1 mM Ca the stability was intermediate. The stability at all other conditions was low

Version / remarks:
and ETAD method
Principles of method if other than guideline:
To measure the partition coefficient of pigments utilising the standard OECD Guideline 107 is extremely difficult because of the problems associated with the inherent very low solubilities. The following procedure is used for determining the LogPow of low solubility substances and in particular that of pigments.
The partition coefficient was estimated based on the ratio of the solubilities in n-octanol and in water. The individual solubilities were determined by flask method based on OECD Guideline 105 and the ETAD method.

A defined amount of the pigment (see table 1) was transferred to a 100 ml flask with glass stopper and 60 ml of water (deionised, 18.2 MOcm). This was stirred at 70°C for 2 hours, and then 72 hours in an air conditioned laboratory (T = 23°C). The suspension was then centrifuged (10 000 rpm, 10 min) and filtered once through a standard paper filter, twice through a 0.2 μm membrane filter (Millipore) and twice through a 0.025μm membrane filter (Millipore). If particles were detected in the solution
(turbidity), the final filtration step was repeated until a perfectly clear solution was acheived.
The above procedure was conducted in parallel for a total of 2 water (deionised, 18.2 MOcm) samples and of 2 n-octanol (Sigma-Aldrich, spectrophotometric grade) samples.
