- Silicon is the element with the highest concentration detected. The ecotoxicologically relevant metal element with the highest concentrations detected is Aluminium. The concentrations of other metal elements analysed can be found in the tables below.
- Conclusions:
- The neutralisation and reduction products of bauxite residue from refinement process were tested in a 7- and 28-day T/D test according to the OECD guideline 29. The ecotoxicologically relevant metal element with the highest concentration detected was aluminium.
- Executive summary:
The neutralisation and reduction products of bauxite residue from refinement process were tested in a screening test (1-day) and a full 7- and 28-day T/D test at pH 6 and pH 8 according to the OECD guideline 29 (loading 100 mg/L). The concentrations of Fe, Al, Ti, Si, Zr, Cr, P and V were quantified via gas chromatography (ICP-MS, ICP-OES). 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.
Aluminium was the ecotoxicologically relevant metal element with highest concentration detected at pH 8 after 28 days: 481 µg/L after 3kDa filtration. Silicon was detected at higher concentration, but was regarded as not relevant for potential ecotoxicity of the test item. Except Zr all elements analysed were detected at pH 6 or 8 after 7 and 28 days. Depending on the type of element analysed, the LODs varied between 0.025 µg/L (Ti) and 4.28 µg/L (P), the recovery rates between 70.4% (Al) and 100 % (Si, Cr, Fe, V, Al, P, Ti, Zr). No clear trend with regards to concentration magnitude and type of filtration (different pore size of filters) was observed.
