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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- (pseudo-)first order (= half-life)
Any other information on results incl. tables
Times required for 95% sorption of methyl mercaptan by soils
from air initially containing 100 ppm (v/v) gas:
- from 2 to 84 minutes for air-dry soils
- from 12 to 130 minutes for moist soils (50% of
water-holding capacity)
Capacities of soils for sorption of methyl mercaptan:
- from 2.4 to 32.1 mg of gas/g of soil for air-dry soils
- from 2.2 to 21.4 mg of gas/g of soil for moist soils
Experiments with steam-sterilized soils indicated that soil
microorganisms play little part in the sorption of
sulfur gases.
It is concluded that soil has a potential for purification
of industrial emissions polluted by sulfur gases.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
