Principles of method if other than guideline:

According to the guidelines, the determination of the Koc for test substances that are ionized for at least 10% within pH 5.5 to 7.5 should be performed with both the ionized and non-ionized form. Therefore, the pKa values of the test substance were calculated using the Perrin calculation method (pKalc 5.0, module in Pallas 3.0, CompuDrug International San Francisco, CA, USA). Based on the calculations, the HPLC analysis was performed at neutral pH.

Solutions of reference substances with known log Koc values based on soil adsorption data and the test substance were analysed. The capacity factor (k') of each compound was calculated from its retention time. The log k’ values of the references substances were plotted against the known log Koc values. A linear regression program was used to calculate the calibration curve. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method. The coefficient of correlation (r) was calculated. The log Koc value for the test substance was calculated by substituting its mean log k’ in the calibration curve. The value of log Koc obtained from duplicate measurements was within +/- 0.25 log units.

Details on results (HPLC method):

Calculation of pKa values:
No pKa values for acidic and basic groups in the molecular structure of the test substance in the logarithm range of 1 – 14 were calculated.

Determination of the Koc:
In the chromatogram of the test solution, the three major compounds of the test substance between 9.3 and 10.8 minutes were observed. No peaks regarding the impurities of the test substance were found with this method.

The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.471 x log Koc – 0.981 (r = 0.954, n = 14).

Description of key information

The HPLC method using soil-adsorption-reference data was applied for the determination of the adsorption coefficient (Koc). Three values were obtained representing the isomeric forms of this substance. Log Koc values ranged from 3.26 to 3.44.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:

2 754

Additional information

The determined Koc values indicate that the substance will be immobile in the soil compartment.

The test was performed on BPA 2PO, however, as similar Log Kow values were obtained for BPA 2PO and BPA 3PO, it can be considered that the data of Log Koc of BPA 2PO can be used for BPA 3PO.
