- Details on results:
- Preliminary test
The preliminary water solubility of the test material was < 0.005 mg/L at 20.0 °C.
Definitive test
The difference between the concentrations of the test material on day 1 to 5 at 10 and 20 °C was < 15 % and the concentrations showed no relevant tendency. Therefore the mean of day 1 - 5 was taken as the solubility at both temperatures, according to the guidelines. - Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): insoluble (< 0.1 mg/L)
The solubility of the test material was determined to be <0.005 mg/L, as a mean value over 5 days at 20 °C. Therefore under the conditions of this study, the test material is insoluble. - Executive summary:
The water solubility of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 105 and EU Method A.6.
The flask shaking test was performed as the test material is inorganic and the column elution method is not recommended for this type of material.
The water solubility was investigated at 10 and 20 °C and in both cases was found to be <0.005 mg/L.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material was found to have a water solubility of <0.005 mg/L in purified water at both 10 and 20 °C. It can therefore be described as insoluble.

- In 0.2 µm filtrates the following Ta concentrations were measured in 2nd test.:
1 mg/L: 0.314 ± 0.280 µg/L (7 d) and 1.00 ± 0.21 µg/L (28 d)
10 mg/L: 4.44 ± 3.46 µg/L (7 d)
100 mg/L 311 ± 51 µg/L (7 d)
It may be assumed that the amount of tantalum in 0.2 µm filtrates originate from colloidal / particulate / suspended species whereas almost no truly dissolved species can be found after centrifugal ultra-filtration.
For the loading of 1 mg/L background correction was applied because measured Ta concentrations in method blanks were low but in the range of the quantified amount in test item loaded samples.
The Ta concentrations after centrifugal ultra-filtration were 0.012 – 0.160 µg/L after background correction. - Conclusions:
- The solubility of Ta2O5 was tested in a 7- and 28-day T/D test according to the OECD guideline 29. The highest concentration measured after 28 d was 1 µg/L (mean) resulting from a loading of 1 mg/L Ta at pH 6 (based on 0.2 µm filtrates).
However, it may be assumed that the amount of tantalum in 0.2 µm filtrates originate from colloidal / particulate / suspended species whereas almost no truly dissolved species can be found after centrifugal ultra-filtration.
After 0.2 µm filtration and centrifugal ultra-filtration (3 kDa filtration), the highest Ta concentration was 0.16 µg/L at a loading of 100 mg/L and 7 days. - Executive summary:
The solubility of Ta2O5 was tested in a screening test (1-day) and a full 7- and 28-day T/D test at pH 6 according to the OECD guideline 29 (loading 1, 10 and 100 mg/L). The concentrations of Ta was quantified via gas chromatography (ICP-MS). Concentrations were corrected with background concentrations of the water blanks. Before chemical analysis water samples were filtrated through 0.2 µm and 3 kDa filters.
In 0.2 µm filtrates mean Ta concentrations of 1.00 ± 0.21 µg/L (7 d) and 0.314 ± 0.280 µg/L (28 d) were measured for 1 mg/L loading, 4.44 ± 3.46 µg/L (7 d) were measured for 10 mg/L loading and 311 ± 51 µg/L (7 d) were measured for 100 mg/L loading.
The Ta concentrations after centrifugal ultra-filtration (3 kDa filtration) were 0.012 – 0.160 µg/L after background correction.

Description of key information
The water solubility of the test material was determined to be < 0.005 mg/L at 20 °C in the key study.
The ecotoxicologically relevant Ta concentrations dissolved from test specimen after ultra filtration (3 kDa filtration) in a T/D test (OECD 29) were between were 0.012 – 0.160 µg/L after background correction
These results classify the test material as insoluble.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 0.16 µg/L
- at the temperature of:
- 21.5 °C
Additional information
The water solubility of the test material has been addressed by providing a key study in the form of a test report (Wenighofer and Fröschl, 2012) that was assigned a reliability score of 1, using the principles set out in Klimisch (1997). The water solubility was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 105 and EU method A.6 using the flask shaking method.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material was found to have a water solubility of < 0.005 mg/L in purified water at both 10 and 20 °C. It can therefore be described as insoluble.
Supporting information is provided in the form of a company report (Sunderkötter, 2012) that was assigned a reliability score of 2, using the principles set out in Klimisch (1997). The water solubility was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 105 and EU Method A.6. The mean solubility in water at 30.0 °C (loading rate 20 g/L, pH 6.2–6.6) is < 1 mg/L.
Further supporting information is provided in the form of handbook data. All three sources are peer reviewed data that, as such, can be awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria detailed in Klimisch (1997).
Kirk (1997), Clayton (1981) and O’Neil (2006) all quoted the test material as being insoluble. No specific value for the solubility was provided and methods of determination are not included in handbook data.
In the test conducted by Klawonn (2022), the ecotoxicologically relevant Ta concentrations dissolved from test specimen after ultra filtration (3 kDa filtration) in the T/D test (OECD 29) were between were 0.012 – 0.160 µg/L after background correction.
