- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The test was performed according to the OECD-Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 105, Water Solubility, flask method with the following modifications:
- Two vessels were set up in a parallel design at 20.0 °C, each vessel was sampled several times instead of sampling just one vessel every time or setting up individual vessels that are sampled only once. This modification helps avoiding weighing errors and enables several samplings from two vessels, i.e., solubility measurements from two individual flasks at each defined time point. The avoidance of weighing errors and the repeated sampling from two separate vessel at each time point (as described above) helps generating more accurate and precise test results.
- The study was performed under inert gas (argon) and under exclusion of atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide. - GLP compliance:

- Observations
During the study, a white precipitate was observed in vessels containing the test item. After filtration, regardless of the filtration method (i.e. through a 0.2 µm membrane or through a 0.2 µm membrane with subsequent centrifugal filtration), the solution was clear.
Temperature
The mean temperature was 19.6 ± 0.1 °C
Solution pH
The pH of solutions containing the test item ranged from 6.9 to 7.7. The pH of method blanks ranged from 6.3 to 6.5, except for the pH of the solution in vessel 2 after 5 (pH of 7.1), 6 and 7 days (pH of 7.8) days. However, the pH of the method blank in vessel 2 remained relatively stable at 6.3 – 6.6 after 18 days until the end of the test.
Oxygen concentration
During the test, the oxygen concentration in the acrylic glass box was monitored with a MICRO IV oxygen sensor prior and after sampling. Oxygen concentrations (in %) remained at about 0 %.
Turbidity
Since the sampling volume was limited, the turbidity was measured on each sampling date only in samples filtered through a 0.2 µm membrane (additional 10 mL). The turbidity of the respective centrifugal filtered test sample and method blank was only measured on day 5 with 0.02 NTU. The turbidity was recorded for all samples filtered through a 0.2 µm membrane. - Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this test (flask method; loadings of 100 mg/L), a solubility equilibrium could not be observed.The pH of solutions containing the test item ranged from 6.9 to 7.7 during the test. Measured magnesium and niobium concentrations of solutions (after filtration through a 0.2 µm membrane and centrifugal filtration) ranged from 5.05 µg Mg/L to 20.67 µg Mg/L and from 0.0089 µg Nb/L to 0.1762 µg Nb/L during the test, respectively. Based on means of dissolved Mg and Nb concentrations of filtered and centrifugally filtered samples (as measured on day 5, 6, 7, 18, 19, 20, 32, 33, 34) amounting to 13.34 ± 5.95 µg Mg/L and 0.076 ± 0.060 µg Nb/L, the solubility of magnesium diniobate at 20°C is estimated with ≤ 0.022 mg/L.
Reference
Under the conditions of this test (flask method; loadings of 100.004 mg/L and 100.042 mg/L in vessel 1 and 2), a solubility equilibrium could not be observed. The pH of solutions containing the test item ranged from 6.9 to 7.7 during the test. Measured magnesium and niobium concentrations of solutions (after filtration through a 0.2 µm membrane and centrifugal filtration) ranged from 5.05 µg Mg/L to 20.67 µg Mg/L and from 0.0089 µg Nb/L to 0.1762 µg Nb/L during the test, respectively. Slightly higher magnesium and niobium concentrations were measured in solutions filtered only through a 0.2 µm membrane in comparison to concentrations of solutions applied to centrifugal filtration. This may indicate that smaller particles (i.e. < 0.2 µm but > 3 kDa) are present in solutions filtered through a 0.2 µm membrane. Thus, magnesium and niobium concentrations measured in the fraction < 3kDa are operationally defined as “dissolved concentrations”.
Measured Magnesium and Niob concentrations of solutions containing the test item are compiled in the tables below:

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Under the conditions of a study performed by Klawonn, T (2017) (OECD TG 105; flask method; loadings of 100 mg/L), a solubility equilibrium could not be observed. The pH of solutions containing the test item ranged from 6.9 to 7.7 during the test. Measured magnesium and niobium concentrations of solutions (after filtration through a 0.2 µm membrane and centrifugal filtration) ranged from 5.05 µg Mg/L to 20.67 µg Mg/L and from 0.0089 µg Nb/L to 0.1762 µg Nb/L during the test, respectively. Based on means of dissolved Mg and Nb concentrations (as measured on day 5, 6, 7, 18, 19, 20, 32, 33, 34) amounting to 13.34 ± 5.95 µg Mg/L and 0.076 ± 0.060 µg Nb/L, the solubility of magnesium diniobate at 20°C is estimated with ≤ 0.022 mg/L.
