Discussion:

The preliminary test was considered unnecessary in this instance as the test material was anticipated to be essentially insoluble in water.

 

The linearity of the detector response with respect to the concentration was assessed over the concentration range of 0 to 0.400 mg/L. This was satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 being obtained.  

 

The results for samples 1 to 3 were somewhat variable and indicated no trend. However, a review of the chemical formula of the test material indicated that the above solutions would be essentially stable towards degradation, etc. Consequently, the variability in the results was considered to be due to non-uniformity of the test material as opposed to any issues with the test.

 

The highest result determined (sample) 2 has been given as a limit value for environmental assessment purposes.

Conclusions:
The water solubility of the test material has been determined to be less than or equal to 3.7 mg/L of solution at 20.0± 0.5°C. The test material has been determined to be essentially insoluble in water.

Description of key information

The water solubility of the test material has been determined to be 10.5 and 10.7 mg/L for calcium and 4.70 and 5.17 mg/L for silicon. These represent the 24 and 48 hour shaking times.


 The test material has been determined to be essentially poorly soluble in water.
