AEROBIC: 3-Methylpentane, present at 19.3 mg/L in a light fraction of gasoline, exhibited 100% CO2 evolution after 30 days in an 100 mg/L activated sludge inoculum and 16% CO2 evolution after 30 days in an abiotic control during a closed-flask test(1). Technical 3-methylpentane test sample and an abiotic control, under the same test conditions, exhibited CO2 production of 100% and 18%, respectively, after 30 days(1). 3-Methylpentane was observed to have a lag period of 27.4 days and a degradation rate of 66 umol/hr(1). A final mineralization yield of 31% was calculated(1). Based on this data, biodegradation of 3-methylpentane in the environment is expected to be an important fate process, however volatilization is expected to be the dominant fate process(SRC).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 320 was calculated for 3-methylpentane(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.6(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of 3-methylpentane is estimated as 2,200(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.60(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-methylpentane is expected to have slight mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe 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 packagingContainers 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.
