Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Tripotassium hexacyanocobaltate is very mobile under typical environmental conditions and used as standard tracer for groundwater investigations, including limestone-dolomite-sand- and sandstone aquifers and some formations of significant clay content, and as tracer for soil moisture distributions (Eriksson et al. Ground water problems. Pergamon Press, 1968). Cobalt cyanide complexes in general were found to be relatively mobile in soils (Canadian Soil Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Environmental and Human Health: Cyanide, 1997 and references therein). Tripotassium hexacyanocobaltate dissociates in water to potassium and hexacyanocobaltate ions. Because of their ionic nature, the associated strong hydrophilic properties and mobility in environmental solutions, the conduct of adsorption/desorption testing is not considered scientifically necessary.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
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.
