Details on results:
Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow from the preliminary tests:
The partition coefficient Pow may be estimated from the saturation concentrations in n-octanol and water by the following equation:
Pow = cs octanol / cs water

s: saturation

As cs octanol >0.1 g/L and the cs water = <0.7 μg/L (preliminary test) are known, the partition coefficient was calculated as log POW 5.2.
Due to the fact that the estimated log Pow is above 4, the partition coefficient n-octanol/water has to be estimated from the individual solubilities in water and n-octanol.

Determination of the solubility in the n-octanol phase: Flask Method: Average of 3 experiments: 173.6 mg/L
By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in water was determined to: cs water <0.7 μg/L

The recovery ranges from 101.5 % to 101.8 % indicated a sufficient accuracy of the analytical method.

Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow from the individual solubilities:
By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in n-octanol was determined to be: cs octanol = 173.6 mg/L
By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in water was determined to be: cs water <0.7 μg/L.

Pow = cs octanol / cs water: 173600 μg/L /<0.7 μg/L.
Pow: 248000
Log pow: >5.39

Individual Results

Preliminary Visual Estimation of the n-Octanol solubility

 

10 mg of the test item were stirred with different amounts of n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved particles.
