Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
The blank values of silver, arsenic, copper, nickel, lead in the test medium at pH 6 and 8 were below the detection limit.
pH 6
In the blank control vessels 24-h pre-test @ 100rpm at pH 6 no detectable values for silver, arsenic, copper, nickel and lead have been measured.
In the blank corrected test item vessels 24-h pre-test @ 100rpm at pH 6 all metals showed average dissolution concentrations above the detection limit. For the metal silver a very small amount of 0.02 µg Ag/L was measured with a coefficient of variation of 59%. This variation coefficient exceeded the 20% quality criterion probably due to the very low concentration values near the detection limit. High amounts of lead (57.7 µg Pb/L) and copper (487 µg Cu/L) were detected with a coefficient of variation of respectively 11% and 3%. The most important metals detected were nickel and arsenic with an average concentration of 1257 µg Ni/L and 1407 µg As/L, respectively. The coefficients of variation for these values were 2% and 3%.
pH 8
In the blank control vessels 24-h pre-test @ 100rpm at pH 8 no detectable values for silver, arsenic, copper, nickel and lead have been measured.
In the blank corrected test item vessels 24-h pre-test @ 100rpm at pH 8 no detectable values for silver have been measured. For the metal lead an average concentration of 10.7 µg Pb/L was measured with a coefficient of variation of 19%. A large amount of copper (160 µg Cu/L) was detected with a coefficient of variation of 1%. The most important metals detected in this test medium were arsenic and nickel with an average concentration of respectively 1093 µg As/L and 1218 µg Ni/L and with a coefficient of variation of 2% and 1%, respectively. All coefficients of variation were below the quality criterion of 20%.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The worst case pH defined in this test is pH 6. Silver, arsenic, copper, nickel and lead showed dissolution concentrations above their detection limit and may be important in the design of a full test for classification purposes.
- Executive summary:
The worst case pH defined in this test is pH 6. Silver, arsenic, copper, nickel and lead showed dissolution concentrations above their detection limit and may be important in the design of a full test for classification purposes.
This study is considered reliable an acceptable for use as a key study.
