Description of key information

The test substance is found to be not hydrolytically stable at pH 7 and 9 but hydrolytically stable at pH 4. Decolorization at 60 and 81 % of the test item was observed in two studies. Such observations are also supported by a publication of Esteves F and Sousa E demonstrating an Advanced Electrochemical Oxidation Process (AEOP) concerning the electrochemical degradation of the vinylsulphone form of Reactive Black 5, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and copper ions. The reaction between H2O2 and electrochemically generated Cu+ ions leads to the production of hydroxyl radicals, causing dye oxidation and degradation.
