Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

Experimental data on the adsorption/desorption behaviour oftrimanganese bis(orthophosphate) are not available.

The data on the adsorption /desorption for manganese has been taken from the publically available literature and is considered to be limited. The most relevant value for use in risk assessment is Kd= ca. 1200. This is the lowest available value and therefore is considered to be indicative of metal that is known to partition to organic matter (soils/sediments) as opposed to remaining in the water column and as manganese hydrogen phosphate and manganese bis(dihydrogen phosphate) are both soluble they can be considered to be ‘readily transformed’ in the environment.

The mobility of manganese in soil depends on the cation exchange capacity. Other factors driving manganese mobility are pH, organic matter, and oxygen content. Manganese is particularly mobile at low soil pH (less than 5.5). The availability decreases with increasing pH values (above 6).

The adsorption potential of polyphosphates increases with increasing length of phosphate units i.e. the adsorption potential of triphosphate is higher compared to orthophosphate. Whereas the mobility and solubility in soil increases when the number of phosphate units is decreased, for example by hydrolysis of triphosphate to orthophosphate (Busman 1984).
