DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: 5 μL per injection; an aliquot of test item (0.2501 g) was diluted to 100 mL with methanol to give a concentration of 2500 mg/L.
- Quantity of reference substances: 5 μL per injection; the concentration of each reference substance is indicated above injected in duplicate.

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: Two.

EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': Calculated as a ratio of retention time of retained compounds relative to unretained substances after determination of the column dead time.
- Calculation of retention times: Determined empirically relative to the known column dead time.
- Determination of the log Koc value: Capacity factors (log k') for reference substances were plotted against absorption coefficients (log Koc). The log Koc for the test item was then calculated using the resultant equation for the calibration curve and the experimentally determined log k'.

Executive summary:

The study was performed in accordance with OECD TG 121 and EU Method C.19 under GLP to assess the adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test item using a high performance chromatography system. The retention times of the test item and selected reference items were accurately measured using HPLC fitted with a cyanopropyl column. The retention times were consistent over the course of the study. The dead time of the instrument was also measured and capacity factors were calculated for each test/reference item. Calibration curves were constructed by plotting the capacity factor (log k') for the reference substances against their adsorption coefficients (log Koc). Linear regression analysis was performed and this showed a reasonable relationship between the capacity factors and the adsorption coefficients. The test was performed at a singular pH 7.0 as the test item does not possess ionisable moieties in an environmentally relevant pH range. The adsorption coefficient of the test item was estimated using the calibration curve constructed from all reference items. Under the conditions of this study, the test substance adsorption coefficient (log Koc) for soil/sewage sludge was estimated to be log Koc 3.68 at 30°C and pH 7.0 by HPLC analysis.
