Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2016-11-22 to 2016-11-22
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Guideline VDI 2263, sheet 1 (Grewer-oven)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
250 °C

Individual results:

2.9 g of the test item were placed into the wire-basket.

The temperature of the test item showed an multistage endothermal effect at a temperature range of approx. 60 - 220 °C. At an oven temperature of approx. 240 °C an exothermal effect started. A second exothermal effect was observed at an oven temperature of approx. 345 °C.

The test item showed a discolouration from white to black und had swollen up during the test.

As the first exothermic process started above 220 °C no further testing is necessary.

Conclusions:
According to the guideline VDI 2263, sheet 1 (Grewer-Oven) no self-ignition temperature was observed up to 250 °C (first exothermal effect).

Description of key information

According to the guideline VDI 2263, sheet 1 (Grewer-Oven) no self-ignition temperature was observed up to 250 °C (first exothermal effect).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
250 °C

Additional information

The self-ignition temperature of lithium citrate tetrahydrate was determined according to the guideline VDI 2263, sheet 1 (Grewer-oven).

2.9 g of the test item were places into a wire-basket. The temperature of the test item showed an multistage endothermal effect at a temperature range of approx. 60-220 °C. At an oven temperature of approx. 240 °C an exothermal effect started. A second exothermal effect was observed at an oven temperature of approx. 345 °C. The test item showed a discolouration from white to black and had swollen up during the test. As the first exothermic process started above 220 °C no further testing is necessary (Albemarle, 20160428.05, 2017).
