Type of method:
flask method
Key result
Water solubility:
8.4 g/L
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH value was not indicated.
Details on results:
The concentrations of the test item measured in at least the two last vessels do not differ by more than ± 15 % and there is no trend in the values, thus the test is satisfactory.
The relative standard deviation (repeatability) of the concentrations in all six samples was smaller than 15 % and the three duplicate sets of samples showed no tendency of increasing concentration values. Thus the test was satisfactory.
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the water solubility of lithium carbonate was determined to be 8.4 g/L at 20 +/- 0.5 °C using the shakeflask method for the performance of the main test.
Executive summary:

The solubility of lithium carbonate in water at 20 ± 0.5 °C was determined according to OECD Guideline No. 105 and EU method A.6. In conclusion, the water solubility of lithium carbonate was determined to be 8.4 g/L at 20 +/- 0.5 °C using the shakeflask method for the performance of the main test.
