Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method C.19 (Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (KOC) on Soil and Sewage Sludge Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC))
Version / remarks:
(adopted, May 2008)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 121 (Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (Koc) on Soil and on Sewage Sludge using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC))
Version / remarks:
(adopted, January 2001)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
HPLC estimation method
Media:
soil/sewage sludge
Radiolabelling:
no
Test temperature:
The reference Koc-values in the OECD-guideline presumably refer to 25 °C. Even though the column temperature was 40 °C, this temperature is without influence on the result of the determination. The calibration was done referring to Koc- values of reference substances determined at 25 °C.

Conclusions:
The adsorption coefficient of Solvent Red 52 was log Koc 4.29 measured at 25 °C and pH 6.4.
Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of Solvent Red 52 was determined according to the HPLC method at 40 °C. In order to comply with the guideline OECD 121 and considering environmental relevance, pH 6 was chosen as pH value for the buffer. The reference Koc-values in the OECD-guideline presumably refer to 25 °C. Even though the column temperature was 40 °C, this temperature is without influence on the result of the determination. The calibration was done referring to Koc- values of reference substances determined at 25 °C. For the determination of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) five calibration standards with log Koc from 1.45 - 5.37 are established in the EG-test method. The chromatogram of Macrolex Rot 5B showed the main signal eluting at 8.8 minutes. Because the non-ionic form of Solvent Red 52 exists at a pH value > 1.5 the test was carried out at approx. pH 6. The adsorption coefficient (log Koc) of Solvent Red 52 was 4.29 measured at 25 °C and pH 6.4.

Description of key information

The adsorption coefficient was determined by HPLC and the chromatogram showed

1 signal eluting at 8.8 minutes. The log Koc was calculated to be 4.29.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
19 498

Additional information

"Should read: log Koc 4.29 at 25 °C"

The reference Koc-values in the OECD-guideline presumably refer to 25 °C. Even though the column temperature was 40 °C, this temperature is without influence on the result of the determination. The calibration was done referring to Koc-values of reference substances determined at 25 °C.
