TEST SYSTEM
- Type, size and further details on reaction vessel: Adsorption apparatus: solution in contact with suspended adsorbent was circulated via syringe pump (through 0.1 µm cellulose nitrate filter) via valve K, operated by stepper motor, PTFE tubing was flushed thoroughly before sample was directed to fraction collector J; 200 mL 10 mM NaHCO3 was weighed into the adsorption cell and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium with CO2/N2 mixture to give a pH of 7.6 ± 0.02; Adsorbent was added to the cell and left for 1 h before a sample was removed for analysis; stock solution of AS added from autoburette and after 20 min a sample was removed for analysis; Procedure was repeated with successive additions of AS. Isotherm computed from data retrieved from the autoburette and the surfactant.

Additional information

Since no reliable sorption tests are available for Sulfuric acids, C9-11-iso-C10 rich, alkyl esters, sodium salt, in accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5, a read-across to another structurally related substance was conducted.

In the publication of Marchesi et al. (1991), sediment sorption data for several alkyl sulfates with different carbon chain lengths are presented. The C10AS Na (CAS 142-87-0) is indicated to be of low sorption potential. The determined Koc values are between 122 and 178 which corresponds to log Koc values in the range of 2.09 and 2.25. For the PNEC sediment and soil derivation, according to the equilibrium partitioning method (EPM), the lower boundary of the range (Koc = 122) was taken into account, since this value represents the worst case scenario for the chemical safety assessment.

Due to structural and property similarities with the tested substances it can be concluded that the above results apply also to Sulfuric acids, C9-11-iso-C10 rich, alkyl esters, sodium salt.
