Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 723 K
Remarks on result:
other: ± 0.5

As there were no significant thermal events, it was determined that no changes in the physical state of the test material occurred over the range of 25 to 450 °C.

During both determinations, an endotherm was displayed by both Thermograms. These are tabulated in table 3 (see below).

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of Sinter Ore was determined to be > 723 ± 0.5 K. No sign of any significant thermal event.
Executive summary:

The meting point of the test material ws investigated according to the standardised guideline, EU Method A.1.

Under the conditions of the study, the melting point of the test material was determined to be > 723 ± 0.5 K. There was no sign of any significant thermal event.

Description of key information

The melting point of manganese ores, reduced is > 723K (> 450 °C).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
450 K

Additional information

The meting point of the test material ws investigated according to the standardised guideline, EU Method A.1. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

Under the conditions of the study, the melting point of the test material was determined to be > 723 ± 0.5 K. There was no sign of any significant thermal event.

The actual melting point of the substance is expected to be much higher than 1 000 °C and the temperature of 450 °C stated is the maximum temperature possible in the DSC apparatus.
