Three DSC measurements were performed.

In the cooling phase a sharp peak of exothermic event was detected. According to the pre-test, this can be identified as the freezing point of the water content, since the test item contains water.

In the heating phase a flat wide endothermic event in the range of -18,56 ° to 4,90 °C and an endothermic behaviour at approx. 100 °C was detected. After 200 °C no event was to be seen any more.

The endothermic event can be assigned to the melting point of the water fraction and the endothermic behaviour should be identified as evaporation of the water fraction.

In the pre-test with heating, the test item was not liquefied.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item cannot be found and/or determined under these test circumstances up to 400 °C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the melting point ofSulphide Precipitatewas performedvia DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).

Three DSC measurements were performed. In all measurements only events of the water fraction were detected.

In the pre-test the test item was solid like ice at -19.5 °C and in the pre-test with heating; the test item was not liquefied.

Since the test item is a UVCB substance and contains metals that have higher melting points, the melting point of the test item cannot be found and/or determined under these test circumstances up to 400 °C.

 

No observations were made which might cause doubts on the validity of the study outcome. Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.
