Conclusion:

The water solubility of the test item was found to be significantly dependent on the pH-value. Therefore it was necessary to adjust the pH.

At the expected concentration range at pH 4 to pH 9 the dissociation of the test item to its corresponding salt had more influence on the pH of the solution than buffering with 0.05 M buffers.

Therefore, as well to prevent the influence of carbon dioxide uptake and loss as volume expansion, solid sodium carbonate was employed for the pH adjustments.

In the same way it can be estimated that under environmental conditions the water solubility of the test item in the assigned pH range will depend

on the specific counter ion to the anion of the test item. Thus a determination of water solubility in the assigned pH range with one specific counter ion is not useful

for modelling the transfer of the test item and anion into groundwater.
