Details on study design: HPLC method:

For each reference substance and the test substance a stock solution was prepared by weighing an accurate amount of substance on an analytical balance and transferring it into a 25 mL measuring flask and filling it up to the mark with methanol. The reference substance and test substance solutions, to be injected into the HPLC system, i.e. reference solution, test substance solution, as well as mixtures of these, were prepared by transferring an amount of stock solution to a HPLC vial and adding methanol and HPLC grade water so the final solution had the same methanol-water ratio as used for the mobile phase. In the same way as described for the reference substances a stock solution and test solution of thiourea was prepared.
In order to determine the retention time, the prepared solutions of the test substance and reference substances were injected separately as well as in mixtures into the HPLC.

Conclusions:

In the test, the average log Koc value for the test substance was calculated with the retention time of two injections, using the calibration plot of log k’ versus log Koc of the selected reference substances. The average measured log Koc value for the test substance, as determined from the test, was calculated to be 1.92. The test substance had a Koc of 83.

Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient (K_oc) of the test substance was estimated using the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The K_octest was performed in accordance with the OECD guideline 121.The data on K_occan be used to predict the potential of the test substance to partition to soil, sediment or sewage sludge.

The average log K_ocvalue for the test substance calculated from the test was 1.92, which is equal to a K_ocof 83.
