12.2 Persistence and degradability
In a river die-away screen test of river water, bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate biodegraded 95% (12 days), 91% (12 days), 91% (17 days), 97.3% (6 days), and 97.7% (3 days), at concentrations of 12.9, 4.5, 3.3, 11.3, and 12.9 ppm, respectively, with a lag period of 6 days(1). This study also conducted a sterile control in which there was 9% loss of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate(1). A BOD test of aerobic activated sludge biodegraded bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate 80-95% after 8 hours from initial concentrations of 2-13 ppm with a 5-7 week lag(2). This same study tested sewage in the same manner and obtained 60-80% biodegradation of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate after a 3-9 week lag(2). A study using DOC found that bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate (40 ppm) biodegraded 83% after 20 days in aerobic sewage(3). In an aerobic closed bottle screening study using activated sludge and soil inoculum, 100 mg/l bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate had a 4 week theoretical BOD of 0-9%(4). With 1 mg added to 10 ml sediment, bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate biodegraded 55-94% in river sediments, 8% in sand, and 13% in clay after 3 days(5).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Based upon an experimental water solubility of 71,000 mg/l(1), the BCF of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate can be estimated to be approximately 1.13 from a regression-derived equation(2). The BCF for bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate has also been experimentally determined to be <0.9 at 0.5 mg/l and < 9.3 at 0.05 mg/l for a 6 week duration(1). Based on these BCF values, bioconcentration is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indexes, the Koc for bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate can be estimated to be about 1041(1). The Koc for bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate can be estimated to be about 9.37 based on an estimated water solubility of 71000 mg/L(3) and a regression derived equation(2). According to a suggested classification scheme(4), these estimated Koc values suggest that bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate soil mobility is low to very high.
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.
