Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Mixture of spiked activated sludge sediment and river water was stirred and the subsequent adsorption of radioactive substance to the suspended matter counted by LSC.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: Radiolabelled C14 count via LSC
Media:
soil/sewage sludge

Study design

Test temperature:
Not specified

Batch equilibrium or other method

Analytical monitoring:
not required
Computational methods:
Mathematical fitting of sorption data:
log K = xC + b (where K is the sorption coefficient in L/kg, C is the carbon number of the alkyl side chain; x and b are fitted by the regression routine that minimises the least-squares residual (R2).

Any other information on results incl. tables

The results demonstrate that sorption can be effectively modeled using a log Kd vs. Cx and EOy predictive equation having the form log Kd = 0.331C - 0.00897EO - 1.126 (R2 = 0.64).
