Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The relative density of the upper phase was calculated to be:

r20.04.0  = 1.1463
r40.04.0  = 1.1317

The relative density of the lower phase was calculated to be:

r20.04.0  = 1.1742
r40.04.0  = 1.1568
Executive summary:

The relative density of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil was determined according to OECD 109 and E.C. Method A.3. The test item separated into two phases immediately after stirring. Therefore two density determinations were performed.

The relative density of the upper phase was calculated to be:

r20.04.0  = 1.1463

r40.04.0  = 1.1317

The relative density of the lower phase was calculated to be:

r20.04.0  = 1.1742

r40.04.0  = 1.1568

Conclusions:
Density of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil at 25°C was found to be 1.17 kg/L (Sample 1 Wood chips) and 1.11 kg/L (Sample 2 Forest residue).
Executive summary:

Density of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil was determined with an oscillating U-tube according to ASTM D4025. The test was performed in 25°C for homogenised Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil from Wood chips and Forest residue. Density was found to be 1.17 kg/L (Sample 1 Wood chips) and 1.11 kg/L (Sample 2 Forest residue).

Description of key information

The relative density of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil was determined according to OECD 109 and E.C. Method A.3. The test item separated into two phases immediately after stirring. Therefore two density determinations were performed. The relative density of the upper phase was calculated to be:
r20.0 4.0  = 1.1463
r40.0 4.0  = 1.1317
The relative density of the main lower phase was calculated to be:
r20.0 4.0  = 1.1742
r40.0 4.0  = 1.1568
In the two recent studies according to ASTM D4025 density of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil at 25°C was found to be 1.17 kg/L (Sample 1 Wood chips) and 1.11 kg/L (Sample 2 Forest residue).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.174

Additional information

According to Oasmaa et al. 1997, the density of pyrolysis liquids is about 1.2 kg/dm3 for water contents of ~25 wt%. Densities of biomass pyrolysis liquids are a function of water content (see attachment: density as a function of water content). Water content of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil was analysed to be ca. 31 % (see section 1.2 Composition)
