12.2 Persistence and degradability
C.I. Direct Red 28 was not biodegraded in a standard 5 day BOD test using a sewage inoculum(1). Intestinal microflora were able to metabolize C.I. Direct Red 28 under anaerobic conditions, forming benzidine(2). A half-life of 3.6 days was measured for C.I. Direct Red 28 in an anaerobic pond sediment-water system(3). Loss was due to biotic degradation as a heat sterilized culture showed no degradation over the same 9 day period(3). However, biodegradation was inhibited when the dye was strongly adsorbed to sediment, as occurs at higher pH values (pH 6-9)(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 1 was calculated for C.I. Direct Red 28(SRC), using a measured water solubility of 1.16X10+5(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of C.I. Direct Red 28 is estimated as approximately 7(SRC), using a measured water solubility of 1.16X10+5(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that C.I. Direct Red 28 has very high mobility in soil(SRC). Due to the ionic nature of the dye, the retention of C.I. Direct Red 28 by ion-exchange processes(4,SRC) may slow down or prevent leaching(SRC). C.I. Direct Red 28 was adsorbed by sediment (cation exchange capacity= 3.72 meq/100 mg; 1.2% organic carbon) with increasing adsorption seen with increasing pH up to pH 8 to 9. No adsorption was shown below pH 4(5). This was thought to occur via cation exchange processes due to weakly basic amino and strongly acidic sulfonate groups(5). Adsorption to sediment was also affected by the addition of inorganic salts such as calcium or sodium chloride at concentrations of 0.001 to 0.01 M; the addition of either salt enhanced the sorption of C.I. Direct Red 28(5).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
