- other: at room temperature, pH not specified.
- Conclusions:
- Based on peer reviewed handbook data, the test item has a solubility of ca. 0.5 g/L in water at room temperature.
- Executive summary:
'Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry' reports the test item to have a solubility of ca. 0.5 g/L in water at room temperature.
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Study period:
- 2000.

- SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: Furfural Español, SA. - Key result
- Water solubility:
- 0.4 g/L
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: pH not specified.
- Water solubility:
- 650 g/L
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Temp.:
- 80 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: pH not specified.
- Conclusions:
- The solubility of the test item in water at 20ºC was found to be 0.4 g/L.
- Executive summary:
The determination of the water solubility of the test item, using the shake flask method, was carried out by a method similar to OECD 105 (EU A.6, flask method). Successive additions of test item to 100 mL of solvent were performed, and the absorbance of these solutions was measured with a spectrophotometer at 660 nm at different temperatures and times. The final point was considered to be when the absorbance dropped under 0.010 UA. Under test conditions, the solubility of the test item at 20 ºC in water was determined to be 0.4 g/L.
