12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride biodegradation in river water was found to take place in approximately 5 days with degradation occurring faster in river water containing higher levels of sediments and suspended solids(1). Dimethyldioctadecylammonium degradation in rapid creek river water, in Rapid City, SD, was measured with a half life of 4.9-13.8 days(3). In an OECD screening test, at a 2.5 mg/l concentration, dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride degradation reaches over 90% in 2-4 days and at 10 mg/l concentration, a Zahn-Wellen test found degradation is nearly complete in 10 days(2). A 91-95% dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride removal rate was observed in a continuous flow activated sludge system(4).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 71 was calculated for dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.80(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride is estimated as 1X10+10(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.80(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride is expected to be immobile in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 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.
