REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
Nine chemicals for which log Koc has been reported were used to calibrate the elution time in units of log Koc.

Dead time, t0 was determined by the injection of sodium nitrate solution.

PREPARATION OF THE TEST SOLUTIONS
Reference substances and test item were dissolved in acetonitrile. Concentration of reference substances stock solutions was about 1 mg/ml, and the test item stock solution was about 200 µg/ml. These stock solutions were diluted with the mobile phase resulting in about 10 ºg/ml solutions except sodium nitrate (100 µg/ml), DDT (100 µg/ml), α-Endosulfan (1 mg/ml) and test item (200 µg/ml).

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.

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

K1=((tR-t0) / t0)

A calibration plot of log k' versus log Koc was prepared. (See Figure 1.) 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.

Results and discussion

Adsorption coefficient
Type:
log Koc
Value:

Temp.:
22 °C
Remarks on result:
other: The result shows that log Koc of Great Lakes CD-75P is significantly higher than the calibrated range. Therefore no accurate value of log Koc can be estimated.

Results: HPLC 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 8 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 given in Figure 1 and Table 1 (see 'details on study design' above, respectively. The equation of the curve fitted to the calibration points is as follows:

log k' = 0.1463 × log Koc + 0.045 (Rsq = 0.965)

Retention time of Great Lakes CD-75P (12.95 min) is significantly higher than that of the last eluting standard, DDT (9.46 min). This result shows that log Koc of Great Lakes CD-75P is significantly higher than the calibrated range. Therefore no accurate value of log Koc can be estimated.
