Description of key information
The rate and extent to which vanadium carbide nitride produces soluble (bio)available ionic and other vanadium-bearing species in environmental media is limited. Based on results of a standard transformation/dissolution test according to OECD Series No 29, the dissolution at a loading of 1 mg VCN/L results after 7 days in dissolved vanadium levels of 1.9 μg/L and 1.8 μg/L at pH 8 and pH 6, respectively. After 28 days, dissolved vanadium levels are at 1.7 μg/L at pH 8 and 1.6 μg/L at pH 6. Further, the poor solubility of vanadium carbide nitride is expected to determine its behaviour and fate in the environment, and subsequently its bioavailability and potential for bioaccumulation and ecotoxicity. While a separation of vanadium (IV) and vanadium (V) species could not be performed in the transformation/dissolution test with vanadium carbide nitride since total dissolved vanadium levels were below the limits of detection and quantification of the speciation method, metallic vanadium substances (vanadium (metal), vanadium carbide) at pH 6 and 8, similar to other inorganic vanadium substances, transform to the higher (V) oxidation state immediately upon dissolution (92-94% (V(V) after 24 hours) and are retained in pentavalent form (83-94% V(V) after 28 days). Therefore, a read-across approach is applied based on all information available for different inorganic vanadium substances and the fate of the limited vanadium ions released can ultimately be expected to be similar to the common fate of vanadium ions in the environment as described in the endpoint summary "V_Environmental fate and pathways". For further information on the applied read-across approach, please refer to the RAAF document "Read-across approach for environmental toxicity of the vanadium category, 2020" attached in IUCLID Section 13.
Additional information
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.
