- Temperature
The mean temperature was 21.3 ± 0.6 °C during the 28 days of testing and in agreement with the OECD guidance document 29.
Solution pH and oxygen concentrations
In solutions containing 1 mg/L of the test item and in respective method blanks at pH 6 and 8, pH ranged from 6.1 – 6.3 and 7.7 – 7.9, respectively.
Oxygen levels in all test vessels (all loadings) were in compliance with the requirements of the OECD Test Guidance 29 during the test, i.e. above 70 % of oxygen saturation at 8.5 mg/L (70 % of 8.5 mg/L = 6 mg/L)
Analytical measurements:
Observed between-vessel variation after 28 days is less than 20 % and is thus in accordance with OECD series on testing and assessment 29. However, observed within-vessel variation after 28 days is not always < 10 % as recommended by the guidance, which may be explained by the low vanadium levels in solution.
Mass balance
Samples were taken from solutions after adding aqua regiato dissolve the test residues. Dissolved vanadium was measured by ICP-OES and the mass balance was calculated considering the replacement of sampling solution after each sampling by adding blank test media (120 mL after 24 h and 40 mL after each sampling). The filters used for sampling were extensively rinsed with an exact amount ofaqua regiaand vanadium concentrations in the filtrate were determined. Concentrations in the filtrates were below the respective LOD/LOQ (1.10 µg V/L / 3.29 µg V/L). Therefore, these amounts were not considered for calculation.
The nominal amount of vanadium was calculated by:
Added test item (mg) * 78.19 (percentage of V in VCN) / 100
Vanadium recoveries ranged from of 1.3 to 22.7 %, clearly showing that the test substance is nearly insoluble (sparingly soluble), even after 12 h inaqua regia. However, different recoveries indicate that aqua regia dissolves the test item but 12 h may not be sufficient to dissolve 1 mg under these acidic conditions. - Conclusions:
- Under the described conditions of this transformation/dissolution test (OECD Series on Testing and Assessment Number 29, 2001) with vanadium carbide nitride at a loading of 1 mg/L, dissolved vanadium concentrations after 28 d at pH 8 and pH 6 amount to 1.71 µg/L and 1.64 µg/L, respectively. Dissolved vanadium concentrations after 7 d at pH 8 and pH 6 amount to 1.88 µg/L and 1.79 µg/L, respectively.

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- - Based on experience and in view of the poor solubility of other metal substances (e.g. metal carbonates), the test was conducted under exclusion of atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen.
- Two vessels were set up in a parallel design at 20 ± 1.0 °C, each solution was sampled repeatedly over time instead of setting up multiple vessels and sampling solutions from a different vessel at each sampling date.

- Observations
During the study, undissolved test material was observed in solution. After filtration, the solution was clear as confirmed by turbidity measurements
Temperature
The temperature was monitored using a Testo Data Logger. The mean temperature was 20.7 ± 0.3 °C.
Monitoring oxygen concentration
The oxygen concentration remained around 0 %. Slightly negative values, though impossible, are due to measurement uncertainties of the device at 0 % oxygen.
Solution pH
The solution pH in samples containing the test item remained at 6.8 – 6.9, the pH in method blanks was 6.2
Turbidity
The turbidity was measured after filtering to verify that only dissolved vanadium concentrations would get measured. The turbidity was <<1 NTU, indicating that there was not any undissolved material after the filtration step.
Dissolved vanadium concentrations
Dissolved vanadium concentrations in method blanks sampled at each time point were below the limit of quantification - Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this test (under exclusion of CO2 and O2, under inert argon gas; flask method; loadings of 9.998 and 10.006 mg/L in vessel 1 and 2, respectively), a solubility equilibrium was reached during the first three days of testing. The mean measured amount of dissolved V on day 1, 2 and 3 at 20.0 ± 1.0°C is 3.33 ± 0.30 μg V /L (determined as dissolved V, separated by filtration from undissolved test item). This corresponds to a water solubility of vanadium carbide nitride powder of 4.25 ± 0.38 μg/L, calculated based on a vanadium content of 78.19 %. Solution pH of samples containing the test item remained at 6.8 - 6.9, the pH of method blanks stayed at 6.2.

Results
Vanadium concentrations remained constant during the first three days of testing, i.e. vanadium concentrations varied by less than 15 % between sampling points. Thus, measured V concentrations indicate that a solubility equilibrium had been reached and the test was terminated after 3 days. Therefore, the acceptability criteria of the study guideline OECD 105 and Regulation 440/2008/EC A.6 were fulfilled.
The mean dissolved vanadium concentrations of solutions sampled on day 1, 2 and 3 amount to:
Vessel 1: 3.20 ± 0.19 μg/L
Vessel 2: 3.45 ± 0.35 μg/L
The amount of dissolved vanadium carbide nitride was calculated based on the measured vanadium content of the test substance as follows:
= mean of measured V concentration * 100 % / 78.19 % [V content of test item]
mean dissolved vanadium carbide nitride on day 1, 2 and 3:
Vessel 1: 4.09 ± 0.45 μg/L
Vessel 2: 4.42 ± 0.38 μg/L

Under the conditions of this test (under exclusion of CO2 and O2, under inert argon gas; flask method; loadings of 9.998 and 10.006 mg/L in vessel 1 and 2, respectively), a solubility equilibrium was reached during the first three days of testing. The mean measured amount of dissolved V on day 1, 2 and 3 at 20.0 ± 1.0°C is 3.33 ± 0.30 μg V /L (determined as dissolved V, separated by filtration from undissolved test item).
