    Pure and commercial grade substances can be tested with the method described here, butthe potential effect of impurities on the results should be considered.

    This Test Guideline applies only to water soluble compounds. There is uncertainty in

    extrapolating high temperature results to environmentally relevant temperatures as a change inreaction mechanism could occur.

    S t a n d a r d d o c u m e n t s

    This Test Guideline is based on methods given in the references listed in Section 4 andon the Preliminary Draft Guidance for Premanufacture Notification EPA, August 18, 1978.

    A. INTRODUCTION, PURPOSE, SCOPE, RELEVANCE, APPLICATIONAND LIMITS OF TEST

    The testing of substances for hydrolysis is relevant to their persistence. Hydrolysis is oneof the most common reactions controlling abiotic degradation and is therefore one of the maindegradation paths of substances in the environment.

    A procedure to determine hydrolysis rates is important also in indicating whether othertesting should be carried out on a parent compound or on its hydrolysis products. It is thedegradation products that are crucial.

    These substances need not be employed in all cases when investigating a new substance.They are provided primarily so that calibration of the method may be performed from time totime and to offer the chance to compare the results when another method is applied.

    The results of the OECD/EEC-Laboratory Intercomparison Testing are included inAnnex 2.

    P r i n c i p l e o f t h e t e s t m e t h o d

    In the environment, chemicals usually occur in dilute solution, which means that wateris present in large excess, and, therefore, that the concentration of water remains essentiallyconstant during hydrolysis. Hence, the kinetics of hydrolysis are generally pseudo-first orderat fixed pH and temperature.

    The hydrolysis reaction may be influenced by acidic or basic species H30+(H+) and OH-,

    in which case it is referred to as specific acid or specific base catalysis.

    The concentration of the test substance is determined as a function of time. Thelogarithms of the concentrations are plotted against time and the slope of the resulting straightline (assuming first-order or pseudo-first order behaviour) gives the rate constant from theformula.

    kobs= - slope . 2.303 (if log10 is used).

    When it is not practicable to directly determine a rate constant for a particulartemperature, it is usually possible to estimate the constant through the use of the Arrheniusrelationship in which the logarithm of rate constants at other temperatures is plotted against thereciprocal of the absolute temperature (K).

    Q u a l i t y c r i t e r i a

    Repeatability

    Mabey and Mill (2) report that measurements of hydrolysis rate constants on 13 classesof organic structures can be of high precision, often with less than 2 per cent standard deviation.The rate constants for one pH and one temperature should be determined in duplicate with adeviation of less than 2.5 per cent unless unusual circumstances (e.g. analytical difficulties)prevent achieving this and then the details of these circumstances should be reported. The

    repeatability can be improved by an improved control of the sensitive parameters, in particularpH and oxygen.

    Sensitivity

    Most hydrolysis reactions follow apparent first order reaction rates and, therefore, half-lives are independent of concentration (equation 3). This usually permits the application oflaboratory results determined at 10-2 - 10-3M to environmental conditions (10-6M) (2).

    Specificity

    Mabey and Mill (2) report several examples of good agreement between rates of

    hydrolysis measured in both pure and natural waters for a variety of chemicals providing bothpH and temperature had been measured.

    B. DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST PROCEDURE

    The overall scheme is summarised in Figure 1, below.

    P r e p a r a t i o n s

    Materials

    Buffer solutions

    The hydrolysis test should be performed at four different values:

    (1) at pH 1.2 (if physiologically important)(2) at pH 4.0(3) at pH 7.0(4) at pH 9.0

    For this purpose, 0.05 M sterile buffer solutions should be prepared using reagent gradechemicals and distilled, sterile water. Some useful buffer systems are presented in Annex 1,based upon the analytical requirements for the chemical being tested. It should be noted thatthe buffer system used may influence the rate of hydrolysis and where this is observed analternate buffer system should be employed. Mabey and Mill recommend the use of borate oracetate buffers instead of phosphate (2).

    The pH of each buffer solution must be checked with a calibrated pH meter at therequired temperature to a precision of at least 0.1.

    Test solutions

    The chemical substance should be dissolved in distilled, sterile water with sterile buffermedium added to it.

    The concentrations should not exceed the lesser of 0.01 M or half the saturationconcentration*, and the purest available form of the substance should be employed in makingup the solutions. The use of mixed solvents is recommended only in case of low water solublesubstances the amount of solvent should be less than 1 per cent, and the solvent should notinterfere with the hydrolysis process.

    Glassware

    All glassware, which must be inert in the pH range studied, should be sterilised.Stoppered volumetric flasks (no grease) should be used for carrying out the hydrolysis reactions.If the chemical or buffer system is volatile, or if the test is being conducted at elevatedtemperatures, sealed or septum-closed tubes are preferred and head space should be avoided.

    Analytical method

    The analytical method will be determined by the nature of the substance being tested.It must be sufficiently sensitive and specific to allow determination of the different species atthe test solution concentrations and may well consist of some combination of:

    pH electrodes UV-visible spectrophotometry conductivity

    T e s t c o n d i t i o n s

    Temperature

    For extrapolation purposes, it is important to maintain the temperature of the

    determinations to at least 0.1C.

    An appropriate constant temperature bath should be employed. If the hydrolyticbehaviour of the substance is unknown, a preliminary test at 50C is required. For tests beyondthis preliminary stage data for temperatures in the range 0 - 40C are sought. They may beobtained by measurement at two temperatures in this range or by extrapolation from threehigher temperatures. In any event, the determinations should be done at temperatures differingfrom each other by at least 10C.

    Light and oxygen

    All of the hydrolysis reactions should be carried out using any suitable method to avoid

    photolytic effects. All suitable measures should be taken to exclude oxygen (e.g. by bubblingnitrogen or argon for 5 minutes before preparation of the solution).

    P e r f o r m a n c e o f t h e t e s t

    (1) Preliminary test. A preliminary test should be performed on the substance at 50 0.1C ateach of pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0. If less than 10 per cent of the reaction is observed after 5 days(t1/2> 1 year), the chemical is considered hydrolytically stable and no additional testing isrequired. If the substance is known to be unstable at environmentally relevant temperatures, thepreliminary test is not required. The analytical method must be sufficiently precise and sensitiveto detect a reduction of 10 per cent in the initial concentration.

    (2) Hydrolysis of unstable substances. If the substance is unstable as defined by the preliminarytest (above), the test procedure is to be as follows:

    8/24

    111page 8 "Hydrolysis as a Function of pH"

    The buffered test solutions of the substance should be thermostated at the selectedtemperatures. To test for first-order behaviour, each reaction solution should be analysed in timeintervals which provide a minimum of six spaced data points normally between 20 per cent and70 per cent of hydrolysis of that test chemical. The reaction should be examined at three (4, 7,9) pHs at each of the selected temperatures with replication at one of them (the middletemperature in the case of elevated temperature determinations).

    (3) Hydrolysis at pH 1.2. The above test for a hydrolytically unstable compound should alsobe carried out at pH 1.2 employing a single, physiologically significant temperature (37C).

    3. D A T A A N D R E P O R T I N G

    T r e a t m e n t o f r e s u l t s

    Confirmation of first order kinetics: The data obtained should be plotted at log10 Ctversus t and the reaction rate constant kobscalculated by regression analysis or from the slope:

    kobs= 2.303 . slope (5)

    I n t e r p r e t a t i o n o f r e s u l t s

    If the data do not fall on a straight line, the reaction is not first order, and the data mustbe analysed by methods beyond the scope of this test principle.

    T e s t r e p o r t

    The test report should include information on

    sample purity

    any results appropriate to the procedure employing reference substances

    detailed test procedure including the temperature, pH and buffer for each set of experiments

    B. RESULTS OF OECD-EEC LABORATORY INTERCOMPARISONTESTING PROGRAMME, PART 2 (4)

    Aspirin Diazinon

    In some cases the results presented here have a variability which exceeds what is called

    for in the Test Guideline. This may particularly be the result of the use of different buffers inthe test systems and the influence of oxygen.

    The Expert Group presents these results however, as they have been obtained using theTest Guidelines in the OECD/EEC Intercomparison Testing Programme, Part II. The firstGuideline as presented here has been modified in the light of these results.
