Type:
Koc
Value:

Conclusions:
The KOCWIN Program (v2.00) estimated Koc (from MCI) is 1.459E+9 L/kg (logKoc = 9.1640). This indicates very stron sorption to soil and sediment, with negligible migration potential to groundwater.

Details on study design: HPLC method:
EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: HPLC System: Agilent Technologies 1100 Series, incorporating autosampler
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: Cyanopropyl reverse phase HPLC column containing lipophilic and polar moieties: Waters XSelect HSS Cyano 5µm (150 x 4.6 mm id), Flow-rate: 1.0 mL/min, Injection volume: 10 µL
- Detection system: UV detector wavelength: 210 nm

MOBILE PHASES
- Type:
Phase A: methanol:reverse osmosis water (55:45 v/v)
Phase B: THF
- pH: 6.62

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity 99.94%, 614 mg/L solution in methanol:water 55:45 v/v)

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
Solutions of reference standards were prepared in methanol.

- Identity (purity in %, concentration in mg/L): Phenol (99+, 114), Atrazine (98.8, 105), Isoproturon (99.9, 100), Triadimenol (98.4, 133), Linuron (99.7, 98.0), Naphthalene (99+, 129), Endosulfan-diol (99.9, 116), Fenthion (98.3, 146), a-Endosulfan (99.6, 132), Diclofop-methyl (99.2, 124), Phenanthrene (97, 134), DDT (98, 157)


EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': k' = (tr - t0) / t0 with tr = retention time and t0 dead time in min.
- Determination of the log Koc value: Log10 Koc = (Log10 k' - A) / B with Koc = adsorption coefficient, k' = capacity factor, A = intercept of the calibration curve, B = slope of the calibration curve
Analytical monitoring:
no
Type:

As the test item had a high affinity for the stationary phase of the column, the mobile phase was adjusted to 100% THF shortly after the retention time of DDT to elute the sample. As the slope of the calibration curve for the reference standards showed good first order correlation and as the retention times between duplicate injections for each solution were consistent, the HPLC method was considered valid for the determination of adsorption coefficient. Based on the chromatographic data, the test item was considered to be stable during the test procedure.
