ADSORPTIION DESORPTION BEHAVIOUR

[14C]-Octopriox Adsorption Desorption test according OECD 106

As Octopirox exists in an ionic form at higher pH it can sorb not via van der Waal forces but also by ionic interactions (e.g ion pair formation, cation exchange). So far no mechanistic model exists to estimate the sorption behaviour of these substances. Therefore measurements are warranted to address the sorption to solid phases reliably. Sorption was measured in three different soils, one sediment and one secondary sludge. The Freundlich isotherms for the different matrices are non-linear (1/n < 1). As the lowest tested concentration is used for the exposure assessment, Table 5.4-1 below lists the Kd and Koc at that concentration which allows to judge the sorption behaviour without a calculation excerise using the Freundlich isotherm.

 The Koc values from the OECD 106 study were used in the Environmental exposure assessment of Octopirox carried out with the EUSES model. As EUSES assigns certain percentages of organic carbon (OC) to the different compartments, Kd values for EUSES were calculate from the available Koc as given in the table 5.4-2

Octopirox considerably sorbs to solid matrices especially to soils and sediment.
