Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

No additional information was considered necessary to assess the environmental fate and pathways of aluminium nitrate. Aluminium nitrate is likely to dissociate into aluminium ions and polyatomic nitrate ions in the environment, which may be incorporated into various complexes. However, aluminium and nitrate are ubiquitous in the environment in quantities vastly in excess of those likely to arise from aluminium nitrate. As such, the contribution of aluminium nitrate to environmental levels of aluminium and nitrate complexes is expected to be minimal.

Further to this, testing on biodegradation is not considered relevant due to the inorganic nature of aluminium nitrate and due to the fact that the fate of aluminium and nitrate in the environment is already well characterised. Testing for bioaccumulation and adsorption/desorption are also deemed unnecessary due to the low estimated log Kow of aluminium nitrate (estimated log Kow = 1.26).
