Description of key information
In aqueous media, dissociation of magnesium oxalate takes place immediately, resulting in formation of ferrous cations (Fe2+) and oxalate anions. The iron cation is an inorganic element and thus considered as not relevant regarding the biodegradation. Therefore, the biodegradation of iron oxalate must focus on the organic part of the substance: the oxalate anion (which is the ionic form of oxalic acid).
Two studies have been carried out on oxalic acid, the part of interest of iron oxalate for biodegradation, and it is to be regarded as readily biodegradable.
Additional information
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.
