Radiolabelling:
no
Test temperature:
30°C
Details on study design: HPLC method:
The test system utilized a high performance liquid chromatograph and a cyanopropyl reverse phase HPLC column containing lipophilic and polar moieties. Test item (0.1010 g) was diluted to 100 mL with methanol to give a concentration of 1.01 e3 mg/L. The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity* 99%, 1.34 x 103 mg/L solution in mobile phase). Solutions of reference standards (see following table) were prepared in either mobile phase (acetanilide to linuron inclusive) or methanol (naphthalene to DDT inclusive).
The HPLC system used was an Agilent Technologies 1200, incorporating autosampler and workstation. The column used was a Waters Xselect HSS Cyano 5 μm (150 x 4.6 mm id). The mobile phase was methanol: water (55:45 v/v). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and te injection volume was 25 μL.

Details on results (HPLC method):
On analysis, two distinct groups of test item were observed at retention times of approximately 4 and 7.5 minutes. Based on compositional information, these can be tentatively attributed to the cyclic monoterpene ethers and hydrocarbon monoterpenes respectively, due to the more hydrophilic nature of the ether functional groups promoting aqueous solubility and thus mobility in soils.
Based on this tentative assignment, the adsorption coefficient values for the two chemical classes are an adsorption coefficient (Koc) value in the range 127 to 203, log10 Koc 2.10 to 2.31, for the cyclic monoterpene ethers and an adsorption coefficient (Koc) value of 2.84 e3, log10 Koc 3.45, for the hydrocarbon monoterpenes.

Statistics:
A calibration curve was constructed from the retention time data of the dead time and reference standard solutions.
The adsorption coefficient log10 Koc values were calculated using the equation below, with reference to the calibration curve.

Log10Koc = (Log10k' - A)/B

where:
Koc = adsorption coefficient
k' = capacity factor
A = intercept of calibration curve
B = slope of the calibration curve

Conclusions:
The adsorption coefficient values for the two chemical classes are an adsorption coefficient (Koc) value in the range 127 to 203, log10 Koc 2.10 to 2.31, for the cyclic monoterpene ethers and an adsorption coefficient (Koc) value of 2.84 e3, log10 Koc 3.45, for the hydrocarbon monoterpenes.
Executive summary:

An OECD 121 HPLC test was conducted in order to determine the adsorption coefficient of Lime Oxide.

The test system utilized a high performance liquid chromatograph and a cyanopropyl reverse phase HPLC column containing lipophilic and polar moieties. Test item (0.1010 g) was diluted to 100 mL with methanol to give a concentration of 1.01 x103 mg/L.

On analysis, two distinct groups of test item were observed at retention times of approximately 4 and 7.5 minutes. Based on compositional information, these can be tentatively attributed to the cyclic monoterpene ethers and hydrocarbon monoterpenes respectively, due to the more hydrophilic nature of the ether functional groups promoting aqueous solubility and thus mobility in soils.

Additional information

An OECD 121 HPLC test was conducted in order to determine the adsorption coefficient of Lime Oxide. Two distinct groups of test item were observed at retention times of approximately 4 and 7.5 minutes. Based on compositional information, these can be attributed to the cyclic monoterpene ethers and hydrocarbon monoterpenes respectively. Based on this assignment, the adsorption coefficient (Koc) value for the unsaturated monoterpene hydrocarbons is 2840 (Log Koc 3.445). This value has been assigned to the assessment entity "unsaturated monoterpene hydrocarbons" for the purpose of environmental exposure assessment. It has also been used in the calculation of PNECsediment and soil using the equilibrium partitioning method for this constituent group.
