Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In batch equilibrium studies, the adsorption of Yb(III) on silica and aluminium was shown to strongly depend on pH. While adsorption at acidic pH values in negligible, Kd values at the pH range of ca. 6.6 to 8 range between 2,300 and 12,000, see section 5.4.1. As batch equilibrium studies were conducted (not only screening studies), no further information regarding adsorption/desorption was deemed as necessary.
Additional information
Due to the low water solubility of the metal components contained in the test substance (zirconium oxide, hafnium and ytterbium doped), a full transformation/dissolution protocol was carried out to study the potential release of these metals to the environment.
After 7 and 28 days (nominal loading of 100 mg/L, pH 8), only ytterbium(III) was found in solution with a maximum concentration of 0.069 µg/L. Zirconium and hafnium were both below the detection limit of 0.07 and 0.02 µg/L, respectively. Therefore, information on ytterbium(III) is relevant for the assessment of environmental fate properties ofzirconium oxide, hafnium and ytterbium dopedand adsorption studies with ytterbium are used in a read-across approach.
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.
