Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Experimental data on the adsorption/ desorption of Triiron bis(orthophosphate) (CAS 14940-41-1) are not available. Testing the adsorption/ desorption behavior to OECD Guideline 121 is not feasible as the method is not validated for inorganic substances. A batch equilibrium study or leaching study did not conducted for Boron orthophosphate considering a high background values and low water solubility of the substance.

Adsorption and uptake processes between microorganism and the aqueous solution play an important role for mobility, reactivity and the bioavailability of iron in aqueous solution (sec. source in González et al. 2014). Transformations of iron by microorganisms are often much faster than the respective chemical reactions. They occur in most soils and sediments, both in freshwater and marine environments (Thamdrup 2000; Straub et al. 2001; Cornell and Schwertmann 2003).

In a study from Kouakou et al. (2013), the removal of Fe2+from wastewater was around 70%.
