- IUPAC Name:

- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- sodium tellurate (VI) and sodium tellurite (IV) have been used as stadards to identify dissolved tellurium species
- Conclusions:
- During this study on Tellurium at a loading of 100 mg/L, it was shown that:
• For total tellurium, an average concentration of 1.46 mg/L Tetotal (CVoverall = 14 %; N = 9) was measured at pH 6 (i.e. 1.5 % total tellurium release) and 12.7 mg/L Tetotal (CVoverall = 3 %; N = 9) at pH 8 (i.e. 13 % total tellurium release),
• For tellurium(IV), an average concentration of 1.49 mg/L Te(IV) (CVoverall = 14 %; N = 9) was measured at pH 6 (i.e. 1.5 % tellurium(IV) release) and 12.5 mg/L Te(IV) (CVoverall = 2 %; N = 9) at pH 8 (i.e. 13 % tellurium(IV) release),
• For tellurium(VI), an average concentration of 0.003 mg/L Te(VI) (CVoverall = 34 %; N = 9) was measured at pH 6 (i.e. 0.003 % tellurium(VI) release) and 0.006 mg/L Te(VI) (CVoverall = 30 %; N = 9) at pH 8 (i.e. 0.006 % tellurium(VI) release),
after 24 hours of exposure to the test medium at pH 6 and 8, respectively.
Based on the rounded results of the dissolved element concentrations, we may conclude that nominal “pH 8” is the pH where the highest dissolved tellurium concentrations, available as Te(IV), were measured. Only traces of Te(VI) could be detected.
The results can be assumed reliable since the test conditions stayed constant during the experiment.

Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
For the test at nominal pH 6 at a loading of 100 mg/L Tellurium, average dissolved concentrations of:
• 1.46 ± 0.20 mg/L Tetotal (CVoverall = 14 %; N = 9),
• 1.49 ± 0.20 mg/L Te(IV) (CVoverall = 14 %; N = 9),
• 0.003 ± 0.001 mg/L Te(VI) (CVoverall = 34 %; N = 9),
were found at the 24 hours endpoint.
Based on the tellurium content in the test item and the average dissolved concentrations in the test solutions:
• a release of tellurium of 1.5 % of the content,
• a release of tellurium(IV) of 1.5 % of the content,
• a release of tellurium(VI) of 0.003 % of the content,
could be calculated at the 24 hours endpoint in test medium at pH 6.
For the test at nominal pH 8 at a loading of 100 mg/L Tellurium, average dissolved concentrations of:
• 12.7 ± 0.4 mg/L Tetotal (CVoverall = 3 %; N = 9),
• 12.5 ± 0.3 mg/L Te(IV) (CVoverall = 2 %; N = 9),
• 0.006 ± 0.002 mg/L Te(VI) (CVoverall = 30 %; N = 9),
were found at the 24 hours endpoint.
Based on the tellurium content in the test item and the average dissolved concentrations in the test solutions:
• a release of tellurium of 13 % of the content,
• a release of tellurium(IV) of 13 % of the content,
• a release of tellurium(VI) of 0.006 % of the content,
could be calculated at the 24 hours endpoint in test medium at pH 8.
