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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

This endpoint is covered by the category approach for dissociating, inorganic and non-toxic iron compounds (please see the section summary for the category justification/report format).
Testing for this endpoint has been waived in accordance with column 2 and/or Annex XI, 2, restrictions as testing is technically not feasible.
Frost et al. (2006) used thermogravimetry under ambient pressure combined with mass spectrometry to study the thermal decomposition of a synthetic hydronium jarosite. Changes in the molecular structure were followed by infrared emission spectroscopy. Mass spectrometry through evolved gases confirmed the mass loss steps, which were observed at 262, 294, 385, 557 and 619 °C.
According to Frost et al. (2006) the first three mass loss steps involve the evolution of water vapour and are attributed to dehydroxylation. Therefore any measured vapour pressure would originate from the liberated water rather than actually represent a property of the submission item. In agreement with the guideline recommendation of ECHA (2008) the vapour pressure can be set to the very low value of 10^-6 Pa as no mercury or organometallic species are present in the submission item and the contained crystal water is not subject of the assessment. In conclusion the value for assessment is set to 10^-6 Pa.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
