Description of key information
The water-soluble fraction (WSF) of anthracene oil (CCSG composite sample 07) (anthracene oil with < 50 ppm BaP, AOL), measured as TOC, was found to range between 3.5 and 7.0 mg C/L at ambient temperature (at a loading of 100 mg oil/L). The mean water solubility is estimated to be 5 mg C/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 5 mg/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Loadings of 500 and 1000 mg oil/L were also tested. The WSF, measured as TOC, were ca. 11 mg C/L and 18 mg C/L, respectively. Lower loadings (2.5, 10, and 50 mg oil/L), applied in a different test (algae test), resulted in WAFs of 0.2, 0.7, and 2 mg C/L.
As standard, the WSF of a loading of 100 mg oil/L is selected in order to characterise the water solubility of anthracene oil.
