HPLC Procedure:
The solutions of the test chemical and reference substances were prepared in acetonitrile. Each of the reference substances and test chemical were analysed by HPLC. The column was saturated with solvent (mobile phase) in isocratic mode on above chromatographic conditions mentioned in section 4.6. After 20 min of column saturation with mobile phase, sequential analysis of Urea (for dead time: t0), reference substances and test chemical was performed on HPLC. All the HPLC runs were performed in duplicates. Retention time tR was measured to calculate the capacity factors k (mentioned in below equation no. 1), it was then converted in log to obtain log k. A standard curve between log k versus log Koc was plotted to obtain the value of log Koc of test chemical.

Details on results (HPLC method):
The Adsorption coefficient (KOC) on soil and on sewage sludge of the test chemical was determined to be 171.39 (logKoc = 2.23 ± 0.002) at 25°C

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The Adsorption Coefficient of test substance was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-121). The Log Koc value was determined to be 2.23 ± 0.002 at 25°C. Thus based on the result it is concluded that the test substance has a low sorption to soil and sediment and therefore has moderate migration potential to ground water.
Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient Koc in soil and in sewage sludge of test chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 121 for testing of Chemicals. The solutions of the test substance and reference substances were prepared in appropriate solvents. A test item solution was prepared by accurately weighing 4 mg of test item and diluted with Acetonitrile up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 400 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 6.6. Each of the reference substance and test substance were analysed by HPLC at 210 nm. After equilibration of the HPLC system, Urea was injected first, the reference substances were injected in duplicate, followed by the test chemical solution in duplicate. Reference substances were injected again after test sample, no change in retention time of reference substances was observed. Retention time tR were measured, averaged and the decimal logarithms of the capacity factors k were calculated. The graph was plotted between log Koc versus log k(Annex - 2).The linear regression parameter of the relationship log Koc vs log k were also calculated from the data obtained with calibration samples and therewith, log Koc of the test substance was determined from its measured capacity factor. The reference substances Urea, phenol, 1-Naphthylamine, 1-Naphthol, Aniline, Xylene, Toluene, Naphthalene, , Benzamide, phenanthrene, were chosen having Koc value range from 1.7 to 2.4. The Log Koc value of test chemical was determined to be 2.23 ± 0.002 dimensionless at 25°C.This log Koc value indicates that the substance has a low sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have moderate migration potential to ground water.
