Description of key information

The adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soli and on sewage sludge using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was estimated according to OECD 121 and Directive2001/159/EC, Method C.19 for the test item 2-Ethylhexyl thioglycolate (batch number: 12.11.07G).

The test was conducted with mobile phase of 55 % methanol and 45 % HPLC water. Samples of the test item 2-Ethylhexyl thioglycolate were analysed threefold via HPLC on a cyanopropyl (CN-) column with DAD - detection. Calibration was performed using six reference items with known values of logKocfor soil and six for sewage sludge, each with a nominal concentration of 5 mg/L. Analysis of the reference items were performed once before and after analysis of test item, respectively. The dead time of the HPLC-system was determined threefold using 5 mg/L sodium nitrate.At the test conditions the adsorption coefficient of 2-Ethylhexyl thioglycolate was found to be log Koc soil = 3.26 and log Koc sewage sludge = 3.42. These values correspond to a Kocsoil = 1809 and Koc sewage sludge = 2642.According to the McCall classification scheme of soil mobility potential a Koc of 1809 would mean that 2-Ethylhexyl thioglycolate is low mobile in soil.
