| Adsorption/desorption : |
Calculated Koc 133 indicates 2,6-dinitrophenol will not absorb
strongly to soil or sediments (Richardson et al. 1994).
|
| |
| Other physicochemical properties : |
Miscible in water.
Orgenic solvent: dimethyl sulfoxide,
ethanol, dimethyl formamide, chloroform, diethyl ether, acetone
and pyridine (Richardson et al. 1994).
|
| |
| Other information of degradation : |
Completely degraded by Pseudomonas sp. isolated from soil.
No degradation after 20 days, determined by COD removal, in
adapted activated sludge when incorporated as sole carbon
source at 20°C (Richardson et al. 1994).
|
| |
| Other information of bioaccumulation : |
Calculated bioconcentration factor 6.
Calculated Koc 133 indicates, that 2,6-dinitrophenol will not
absorb strongly to soil or sediments (Richardson et al. 1994).
