yes
Remarks:
Two vessels were set up in a parallel design, each vessel was sampled several times instead of sampling one single vessel at each point in time; mean temperature: 21.8 ± 0.4 °C
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Specific details on test material used for the study:
Storage: Store tightly sealed in original container at well-ventilated premises. Do not leave container open. Avoid residues on the container.

Water solubility:
19.1 g/L
Conc. based on:
element (dissolved fraction)
Remarks:
Cs and Al
Loading of aqueous phase:
91.5 g/L
Incubation duration:
>= 6 - <= 8 d
Temp.:
21.8 °C
pH:
>= 7.75 - <= 7.87
Details on results:
- The mean temperature was 21.8 ± 0.4 °C.
- pH value of solutions containing the test item: 7.75 - 7.87
- pH value in method blanks: 5.54 - 5.74
- The turbidity in samples was always <1 NTU indicating that centrifuged and filtered solutions did not contain any undissolved material.
- Aluminium concentrations in method blank samples of all sampling days: 25.7 ± 32.1 µg/L (6d), 23.1 ± 28.2 µg/L (7d), 23.5 ± 28.8 µg/L (8d)
- Cesium concentrations in method blank samples of all sampling days: 115 ± 145 µg/L (6d), 146 ± 186 µg/L (7d), 149 ± 190 µg/L (8d)
Due to the low background concentration of aluminium and cesium in method blanks in contrast to the aluminium and cesium concentration in test samples a subtraction of the mean method blank is considered as not necessary and is not performed.

The cesium and aluminium measurements were performed by ICP-OES and ICP-MS. In the following tables the results are summarised.

The calculated variations / changes between the sampling points were less than 15 % for the days 7 and 8. Thus, the validity criteria as foreseen in OECD 105 [4] and Regulation 440/2008/EC A.6 were fulfilled.

The amount of dissolved Cesium tetrafluoroaluminate was calculated by:

 Considering aluminium and cesium:

Amount of aluminium in test item = 10.2 %

Amount of cesium in test item = 57.7 %

Amount of aluminium and cesium = 67.7 %

Purity of the test item = 98.2 %

 

Mean concentration of aluminium and cesium added:

           Vessel 1:        13.2 ± 0.08 g/L

           Vessel 1:        13.2 ± 0.12 g/L

 

With this concentrations the dissolved test item was calculated:

 Mean of concentration x 98.2 % / 67.7 %:

           Vessel 1:       19.1 ± 0.12 g/L

           Vessel 2:       19.1 ± 0.17 g/L

           Mean:            19.1 ± 0.14 g/L
