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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The test is not justified as bibliographic analysis supports the idea that perchlorate is more depositional than sorptive. Calculation of Koc made with KOCWIN v2.00 delivers a direct (MCI) Koc = 86.03 for ammonium perchlorate but warns that it is outside the validation domain.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 86.03
Additional information
On the basis of physicochemical properties (high water solubility, negative log Kow), negligible adsorption coefficient is anticipated, so that testing is not required according to Annex VIII.
The bibliographic analysis which supports the idea that perchlorate is more depositional than sorptive is in published data by Urbansky, E.T. and Brown, S.K., in Perchlorate Retention and Mobility in Soils; J. Environ. Monit., 2003, 5, 455-462. Therefore the adsorption/desorption test for Perchlorate is not scientifically justified.
The sorption of ions on mineral surfaces depends on the degree of electronic charge of those surfaces. The presence of clay minerals or oxide surfaces, such as, iron oxide, enhances sorption. However, the perchlorate anion does not sorb readily onto clay minerals: although clays have appreciable cation exchange capacity, they typically have little anion exchange capacity. Thus based on its charge and the even charge distribution that results from the tetrahedral symmetry, perchlorate anion generally has a relatively low affinity for soils and mineral surfaces.
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.
