Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The test substance is water soluble and dissociates into oxalic acid, oxalate and ammonium ions, as well as oxobisoxalato-niobate ion. The residue amount of oxalic component, ammonium ion and niobium (element) at the end of study was determined using liquid chromatography (LC) and ion chromatography (IC) and ICP in the test solutions and water controls respectively.

 

Due to complex reactions of each component, such as transformation of oxobisoxalato-niobate and hydrolysis of niobium compound, no oxygen consumption was observed after 28 days. However, > 99% of organic component oxalate is removed based on test material analysis and DOC removal. The inorganic moiety (niobium species) undergoes hydrolysis and forms insoluble niobium hydroxide. Removal of ammonium ion is less than 2%. Presence of niobium did not inhibit the activity microorganism and biodegradation rate of oxalate ions.
