Details on study design: HPLC method:

The solutions of the test substance and reference substances were prepared in the mobile phase. 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.

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. A test item solution was prepared by accurately measuring 4μL of test item and diluted with methanol up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 327.6 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 6.95. The reference substances were chosen according to structural similarity with the test substance and calibration graph prepared. The reference substances were 2-nitrophenol, nitrobenzene, 4 -nitrobenzamide, N,N-dimethylbenzamide, N-methylbenzamide and benzamide having Koc value ranging from

1.239 to 2.47. The Log Koc value of test chemical was determined to be 1.8135 ± 0.001 at 25°C.This logKoc value indicates that the test chemical has a low sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have moderate migration potential to ground water.

Additional information

Various experimental studies of the test chemical were reviewed for the adsorption end point which are summarized as below:

 

In an experimental key study from study report (2017),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. A test item solution was prepared by accurately measuring 4μL of test item and diluted with methanol up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 327.6 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 6.95. The reference substances were chosen according to structural similarity with the test substance and calibration graph prepared. The reference substances were 2-nitrophenol, nitrobenzene, 4 -nitrobenzamide, N,N-dimethylbenzamide, N-methylbenzamide and benzamide having Koc value ranging from 1.239 to 2.47. The Log Koc value of test chemical was determined to be 1.8135 ± 0.001 at 25°C.This logKoc value indicates that the test chemical has a low sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have moderate migration potential to ground water.

 

In a supporting study, adsorption experiment was conducted for estimating the adsorption coefficient (Koc) value of test chemical (authoritative database, 2017). The adsorption coefficient (Koc) value was calculated using a logKow of 2.37 and a regression derived equation. The adsorption coefficient (Koc) value of test chemical was estimated to be 460 (Log Koc = 2.66). This Koc value indicates that the test chemical has a moderate sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have slow migration potential to ground water.

 

On the basis of above overall results for test chemical (from study report and authoritative databases), it can be concluded that the logKoc value of test chemical ranges from 1.81–2.66indicating that the test chemical has a low to moderatesorption to soil and sediment and therefore have moderate to slow migration potential to ground water.
