EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus:
- Type: Autosampler: Model ISS200, Perkin Elmer
Pump: Model 1020, PE Nelson
Data handling system: Model 1020, PE Nelson
Printer: Model SQ850, Epson
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: Cyano Apex, 5 µm, 25 cm x 4.6 mm id
- Detection system: Model UV 481, Waters Associates; detection wavelength 228 nm

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: methanol/0.01 M citrate buffer (aq) pH 6, 55/45 v/v
- Experiments with additives carried out on separate columns: no
- pH: 6
- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances: methanol

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: by inert substances which are not retained by the column (thiourea)

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: azinphos-methyl, fenthion, monuron, triadimefon, triapenthenol, and trifluralin

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: 0.32 µg per injection
- Quantity of reference substances: azinphos-methyl: 0.25 µg; fenthion: 1.72 µg; monuron: 0.33 µg; triadimefon: 1.27 µg; triapenthenol: 1.06 µg; trifluralin: 1.32 µg
- Intervals of calibration: mean retention times of reference compounds ranged from 4.548 to 13.922 minutes

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: 2

EVALUATION
The adsorption coefficient is deduced from the capacity factor (k) using a calibration plot of log k versus log Koc of the selected reference compounds. The capacity factor is calculated from the equation:

K = (tR – to)/to

where:
tR = retention time of the test substance
to = column dead time (retention time of an inert substance)

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The soil adsorption coefficient of the test substance was determined as Koc = 174 at 20ºC. The result indicates that the test substance is likely to have medium mobility in soils.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the soil adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test substance by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method as described in the OECD Draft Document TGP/94.75 (April 1994). The Koc is 174 at 20ºC. The result indicates that the test substance is likely to have medium mobility in soils.
