Details on study design: HPLC method:
EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: Alliance Separation Module 2695
- Detection system: Dual lambda absorbance detector 2487


MOBILE PHASES

- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances: water (lactic acid); methanol (phenol)


DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: by means of homologous series / by inert substances which are not retained by the column


REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: Phenol


DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: 10 µl; 209 ng (neutral), 135 ng (pH 2)
- Quantity of reference substances: 10 µl; 100 ng


REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: all samples were measured in duplicate; controls were injected once


EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': Not calculated
- Calculation of retention times: Not given other than in (single) chromatogram run printouts
- Determination of the log Koc value: <1.32 (i.e. < phenol log Koc)

Results: HPLC method

Details on results (HPLC method):
Lactic acid eluted before phenol; phenol has a designated log Koc of 1.32. No relevant differences in the results were observed at neutral pH and pH 2.0.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Lactic acid log Koc < 1.32.
Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of Lactic acid 93% aq. on soil and on sewage sludge was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The Koc and log Koc value of the test substance at neutral pH and at pH 2 was <20.9 and <1.32, respectively.
