Details on study design: HPLC method:

EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: Liquid chromatograph
- Type: Shimadzu LC20 Nexera
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: Eclipse XDB-CN, 150 x 4.6 mm, 5 µm
- Detection system: UV/VIS (210 nm NaNO3; 240 nm test and reference substances)

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: 55 % ACN + 45 % citrate buffer (flow rate 1.0 mL/minute)
- Experiments with additives carried out on separate columns: no
- pH: 6.5
- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances: methanol

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

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity and purity: 2,5-Dichloroaniline 99 %, Benzamide ≥99 %, Aniline ≥99.5 %, Atrazine 98.8 %, Linuron 99.9 %, Phenanthrene ≥97 and Phenyl benzoate ≥98 %

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: Test substance solution was prepared by weighing 13.90 mg into a 50 mL volumetric flask and dissolving in methanol. A 5 mL aliquot was pipetted into a 10 mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume with acetonitrile.
- Intervals of calibration: Soil log Koc values 1.26 - 4.09; Sewage sludge log Koc values 1.66 - 4.35

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: 4
- Injection volume: 2 µL

EVALUATION
The values of log k of individual repetitions are calculated from the individual retention times tR and the average dead time value. The mean of log k is calculated from the individual values of log k. The mean of log Koc of the sample as well as its uncertainty is calculated directly from the mean of log k of the sample and the calibration line.

Log Koc = (logk - b) / a
K = (tR / t0) - 1
Koc =10 to the power of log Koc

Where:
Koc = adsorption coefficient either on soil or sewage sludge (depends on input used)
log Koc = decimal logarithm of the adsorption coefficient (by HPLC)
k = capacity factor
t = retention time of the test compound
t0 = dead time ("retention" time of NO3-)
a = slope of the calibration line
b = intercept of the calibration line

Conclusions:

Estimations of the adsorption coefficients (Koc) at pH 6.5 and 25 °C were log Koc >5 (5.014 ± 1.309) and log Koc >5 (6.052 ± 1.834) on soil and sewage sludge, respectively.

Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient of the test substance, Solvent Red 19E, on soil and on sewage sludge was estimated using the HPLC method with reference compounds under GLP conditions.

The test was performed according to the Method C.19, Estimation of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soil and sewage sludge using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Published in O.J. L 142, 2008 and OECD Test Guideline No. 121, Estimation of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soil and on sewage sludge using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Adopted January 22, 2001. 

The test and reference substances were dissolved in methanol. The mobile phase for the column was 55 % ACN + 45 % cutrate buffer (pH 6.5). Estimation of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soil and sewage sludge took place at 25 °C

The test substance was more retained on the column than any of the reference standard. The results were obtained by extrapolation of the given calibration curve.

Estimations of the adsorption coefficients (Koc) at pH 6.5 and 25 °C were log Koc >5 (5.014 ± 1.309) and log Koc >5 (6.052 ± 1.834) on soil and sewage sludge, respectively.

Both values of log Koc fall out of the typical range (1.5 to 5.0) in the guidelines, and the results obtained by extrapolation. However this is not considered to be a deviation from the guideline methodology.
