DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: by means of an inert substances which are not retained by the column


REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity (dead time determination): Sodium Nitrate (EC: 231-554-3)
- Identity (reference substances, Koc determination): Phenol (EC: 203-632-7), Isoproturon (EC: 251-835-4), Naphthalene (EC: 202-049-5), 1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene (EC: 201-757-1), Phenanthrene (EC: 201-581-5), 4.4'-DDT (EC: 200-024-3)


DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: 2 µL injections of 1011 mg/L of test item in acetonitrile/ultra-pure water (50/50 [v/v]) was introduced to the column

- Quantity of reference substances: Sodium Nitrate (71.68 mg/l), Phenol (19.85 mg/l), Isoproturon (61.20 mg/l), Naphthalene (3.55 mg/l), 1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene (44.16 mg/l), Phenanthrene (35.00 mg/l), 4.4'-DDT (246.96 mg/l)

- Intervals of calibration: Retention times of reference substances was determined over a 30 minute runtime duration. The following mean retention times were recorded arising from two calibration runs:
Calibration Run 1: Sodium nitrate (1.126 min), Phenol (2.608 min), Isoproturon (3.396 min), Naphthalene (4.950 min), 1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene (5.540 min), Phenanthrene (8.332 min), 4.4'-DDT (18.941 min)
Calibration Run 2: Sodium nitrate (1.830 min), Phenol (2.608 min), Isoproturon (3.393 min), Naphthalene (4.944 min), 1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene (5.534 min), Phenanthrene (8.319 min), 4.4'-DDT (18.884 min)


REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: Eight repetitions in total, consisting of 4 injections per run over two runs.


EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': The adsorption coefficient (KOC) is deduced from the capacity factor (k') using a calibration plot of log k' versus log KOC of the selected reference compounds. k' = (tR - t0)/t0. tR = HPLC retention time of test or reference item (minutes), t0 = HPLC dead time (minutes)

- Calculation of retention times: The reference mix was injected two times before and two times after the test item sample. The retention times were of these injections were measured directly.

- Determination of the log Koc value: The partition coefficient of the test item was obtained by interpolation from the calibration graph, using the calculated capacity factor.

Data Evaluation:

Calculation of log k’: The corresponding logarithms of the capacity factors, log k’, were calculated from the retention times and the dead time.

Calibration Graph: A correlation graph of log k’ versus log Koc was plotted.

Sample Results: As the log Koc was below determination limit of the method (log Koc = 1.5 according to OECD 121 and EC method C.19) and below the lowest used reference standard (log Koc of the lowest reference standard phenol is 1.32) the log Koc is stated as < 1.32.

Executive summary:

EU Method C.19. –  The estimated Adsorption Coefficient (Koc) of the test item was determined using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method C.19., Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (Koc) on Soil and on Sewage Sludge using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Analysis was performed using a HPLC equipped with an analytical column packed with a commercially available cyanopropyl solid phase containing lipophilic and polar moieties.  A moderately polar stationary phase based on a silica matrix was used (EC 150/4.6 Nucleodur 100-5 CN-RP 150 x 4.6 mm; 5 µm).  A mobile phase of 55 % methanol to 45 % ultra-pure water was used and the column temperature was 25 °C ± 1 °C.  The log Koc was measured in duplicate under identical conditions and using the same set of reference items.

The test item was shown to have a Log Koc below determination limit (log Koc = 1.5) of EU method C.19 and below the log Koc of the lowest reference standard used in this study (phenol, nominal log Koc = 1.32).  As such the estimated Adsorption Coefficient (Log Koc) of the test item was determined to be: < 1.32 at 25 °C ± 1 °C.
