Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Vanadyl pyrophosphate is a catalyst with a low water solubility of approx. 12 mg/L. The substance is thus considered to be stable in the aquatic environment. Based on the hydrolysis study of VO2 from Wehrli et. al(1989) and the first equilibrium constant for the reaction of P2O74- in aqueous solution at pH 2 to 9 (Crowther, 1953), the hydrolysis half-life of dissolved (VO)2P207 will be one year or greater in nature water even at low pH. Therefore the rate of hydrolytic reaction of the catalyst is slow enough that significant breakdown is not important under normal environmental conditions.
The measured octanol/water partition coefficient (log Pow = -2.0) is very low, thus testing of the adsorption and desorption behaviour of the substance does not need to be performed. As the substance is inorganic, the biodegradation in water is also not considered.
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.
