Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Summary of degradation
Potassium zirconium carbonate (KZC) is inorganic and hence the ready biodegradation and hydrolysis tests are not relevant and technically not feasible. This is because there is no carbon to be evolved and no chemical bonds to be broken, respectively. The water solubility of potassium zirconium carbonate is822.69 ± 1.71 g/L at 23 ºC (Hasemann, 2012).
Volatilisation
In an OECD TG 104 test the vapour pressure of potassium zirconium carbonate was determined to be
2.6 x 10-2Pa at 20 ºC,
4.3 x 10-2Pa at 25 ºC and
4.2 x 10-1Pa at 50 ºC.
Distribution modelling
No distribution modelling data exist. Modelling is not relevant to this inorganic substance.
Summary of environmental distribution
Kd values for Zirconium (Zr) are presented in a published IAEA report (Technical Reports Series No. 472, 2010). The Kd values for loam/clay and organic soil (organic matter content > 20%) ranged between 3700 and 5000 L/kg. Therefore the geomean value of 4301 l/kg was used for the PNEC calculations.
Summary and discussion of bioaccumulation
No experimental data on bioaccumulation exist. The data are not required as the hazard assessment performed during the chemical safety assessment concludes that the substance is of no immediate concern to the environment. The available data are adequate for classification and labelling purposes. Since KZC is an inorganic substance a PBT assessment is not required.
Secondary poisoning
Bioaccumulation of KZC is not expected to occur. Hence no secondary poisoning risk exists.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
