Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
-
EC Number:
440-870-2
EC Name:
-
Cas Number:
1013-88-3
Molecular formula:
C13 H11 N
IUPAC Name:
C,C-Diphenylmethyleneimine
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Benzophenonimin hydrolyses rapidly. Hydrolysis products are Benzophenon (CAS 119 -61-9) and Ammonia (CAS 7664-41-7). The results were related to the water soluble part of Benzophenon.

Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
Duration of test (contact time):
12 d
Initial test substance concentration
Initial conc.:
18 mg/L
Based on:
DOC
Remarks:
based on water soluble part of the hydrolysis products

Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
other: the non-soluble part of the hydrolysate (benzophenone) is easily eliminated from water by mechanical removal while the soluble part is readily biodegradable.
Value:
>= 90 - <= 100
Sampling time:
12 d
Remarks on result:
other: the non-soluble part of the hydrolysate (benzophenone) is easily eliminated from water by mechanical removal while the soluble part is readily biodegradable.
Details on results:
Benzophenonimin is unstable in water.
- the water-solved part of the hydrolysate is readily
biodegradable
- the non-soluble part of the hydrolysate (benzophenone) is
easily eliminated from water by mechanical removal

Kinetic of test substance (in %):
= 0 after 1 day(s)
= 16 after 3 day(s)
= 60 after 7 day(s)
= 99 after 11 day(s)
= 99 after 12 day(s)

Any other information on results incl. tables

Benzophenonimin is unstable in water, therefore the water-solved part of the hydrolysate was tested

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: the water soluble part of the hydrolysate is readily biodegradable
