Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

HYDROLYSIS

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VIII, section 9.2.2.1, a study is not required for substances that are readily biodegradable. Lithium acetate is readily biodegradable (please refer to IUCLID section 5.2.1)

BIODEGRADATION

Under the conditions of the biodegradation study (Biodegradation in water:screening tests), the test item is considered to be ready biodegradable.

ADSORPTION/DESORPTION

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VIII, section 9.3.1, the test on adsorption/desorption screening does not need to be conducted if the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption based on the octanol/water partition coefficient. The theoretical calculated (EPIWIN) log Pow for acetic acid is 0.09, i.e. very low. Thus, based on the physico-chemical properties lithium can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption (which is confirmed e.g. by its low adsorption to sludge at sewage treatment plants).
