Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
not specified
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
not specified
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Thermogravimetric measurements was performed in air at a heating rate of 3 °C/min. by an automatic thermobalance.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Decomposition:
yes
Remarks:
Ammonium dimolybdate begins to evolve ammonia around 150 °C, rapid evolution subsequently begins around 200 °C. At ca. 225 °C an endothermic peak was observed in the thermoanalysis (formation of ammonium octamolybdate).
Decomp. temp.:
> 150 - < 225 °C
Conclusions:
Upon heating, ammonium dimolybdate begins to evolve ammonia around 150 °C, rapid evolution subsequently begins around 200 °C. At ca. 225 °C an endothermic peak was observed in the thermoanalysis (formation of ammonium octamolybdate).

Description of key information

Decomposes from ca. 150 °C (evolution of ammonia). Formation of ammonium octamolybdate at ca. 225 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
