Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
water solubility
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 105 (Water Solubility)
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
flask method
Water solubility:
660 g/L
Temp.:
20 °C
pH:
0.8
Details on results:
In some cases the PGM concentrations measured by ICP-OES showed a tendency of increasing values at each equilibration time. If the last two vessels varied by less than 15%, the test was deemed satisfactory.
Conclusions:
The water solubility of ruthenium acetate is 660 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5°C.
Executive summary:

Gregory (2014) followed a standard method and the results are reported in a published paper. The water solubility of ruthenium acetate is 660 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5°C.

Description of key information

The water solubility of ruthenium acetate is 660 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C.

A24h TDp screening test showed a Ru release of 81-82% at pH 6 and 8 (Brouwers, 2020).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:
660 g/L
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

Gregory (2014) followed a standard shake flask method and is reported in a published article. It is suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. The water solubility of ruthenium acetate is 660 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C.

Hogg and Bartlett (1996) is included as a supporting study. It is GLP compliant and based on a guideline and is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. The authors state that the standard A.6 Method is not applicable due to very high saturation mass concentration. An alternative testing scheme was devised which yielded a lower limit value for water solubility. Samples prepared at greater than approximately 660 g/L would have produced unfilterable, inseparable mixtures. The water solubility of ruthenium acetate is > 660 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5°C.
