Description of key information
Aluminium sulphate is inorganic substance and according “ANNEX VII - STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF ONE TONNE OR MORE” the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic.
The estimated Partition coefficient n-octanol/water of -0.12 log Kow at 20 °C was measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.0 Program.This is Exposure Assessment Tools and Models made from EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
The LogKow estimated for aluminium sulphate is -7.82 and this is out of range and by the reason that when released into water, the aluminum sulphate hydrolyses to form aluminum hydroxide and on this basis it is used the LogKow estimated for aluminium hydroxide ( -0.12).
Log Kow = -0.1210
Data interpretation : Log Kow = -0.12 = Low bioacucmulation
WARNING - The entered structure is an INORGANIC Compound.
-Very few inorganic compounds were included in the training data
-set for the methodology utilized in this program. Therefore, inorganic compounds are outside the estimation domain.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- -0.12
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C

Partition coefficient n-octanol/water
Aluminium sulphate is inorganic substance and according “ANNEX VII - STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF ONE TONNE OR MORE ”the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic.
The study does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic.
If the test cannot be performed (e.g. the substance decomposes, has a high surface activity, reacts violently during the performance of the test or does not dissolve in water or in octanol, or it is not possible to obtain a sufficiently pure substance), a calculated value for log P as well as details of the calculation method shall be provided.The estimated Partition coefficient n-octanol/water of -0,12 log Kow at 20 °C was measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.0 Program.This is Exposure Assessment Tools and Models made from EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
TheLogKow estimated for aluminium sulphate is -7.82 and this is out of range and by the reason that when released into water, the aluminum sulphate hydrolyses to form aluminum hydroxideand on this basis it is used theLogKow estimated for aluminium hydroxide (-0.12)
Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite
• The EPI (Estimation Programs Interface) Suite™ is a Windows®-based
suite of physical/chemical property and environmental fate estimation
programs developed by the EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention Toxics
and Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC).
EPI Suite™ uses a single input to run the following estimation
programs: KOWWIN™, AOPWIN™, HENRYWIN™, MPBPWIN™, BIOWIN™, BioHCwin,
KOCWIN™, WSKOWWIN™, WATERNT™, BCFBAF™, HYDROWIN™, KOAWIN and AEROWIN™,
and the fate models WVOLWIN™, STPWIN™ and LEV3EPI™. ECOSAR™, which
estimates ecotoxicity, is also included in EPI Suite™.
• EPI Suite™ is a screening-level tool and should not be used if
acceptable measured values are available.
•KOWWIN™:Estimates the log octanol-water
partition coefficient, log KOW, of chemicals using an
atom/fragment contribution method.
•AOPWIN™: Estimates the gas-phase reaction rate
for the reaction between the most prevalent atmospheric oxidant,
hydroxyl radicals, and a chemical. Gas-phase ozone radical reaction
rates are also estimated for olefins and acetylenes. In addition,
AOPWIN™ informs the user if nitrate radical reaction will be important.
Atmospheric half-lives for each chemical are automatically calculated
using assumed average hydroxyl radical and ozone concentrations.
•HENRYWIN™: Calculates the Henry’s Law constant
(air/water partition coefficient) using both the group contribution and
the bond contribution methods.
•MPBPWIN™: Melting point, boiling point, and
vapor pressure of organic chemicals are estimated using a combination of
techniques. Included is the subcooled liquid vapor pressure, which is
the vapor pressure a solid would have if it were liquid at room
temperature. It is important in fate modeling.
•BIOWIN™: Estimates aerobic and anaerobic
biodegradability of organic chemicals using 7 different models. Two of
these are the original Biodegradation Probability Program (BPP™). The
seventh and newest model estimates anaerobic biodegradation potential.
•BioHCwin: Estimates biodegradation half-life
for compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen (i.e. hydrocarbons).
•KOCWIN™: Formerly called PCKOCWIN™, this
program estimates the organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficient for
soil and sediment; i.e. KOC. KOCis estimated
using two different models: the Sabljic molecular connectivity method
with improved correction factors; and the traditional method based on
log KOW.
•WSKOWWIN™: Estimates an octanol-water
partition coefficient using the KOWWIN™ program, then estimates a
chemical’s water solubility from this value and applicable correction
factors if any.
•WATERNT™: Estimates water solubility directly
using a "fragment constant" method similar to that used in the KOWWIN™
program.
•BCFBAF™: Formerly called BCFWIN™, this program
estimates fish bioconcentrationfactor and its logarithm using two
different methods. The first is the traditional regression based on log KOWplus
any applicable correction factors, and is analogous to the WSKOWWIN™
method. The second is the Arnot-Gobas method, which calculates BCF from
mechanistic first principles. BCFBAF also incorporates prediction of
apparent metabolism half-life in fish, and estimates BCF and BAF for
three trophic levels.
•HYDROWIN™: Estimates aqueous hydrolysis rate constants and
half-lives for the following chemical classes: esters, carbamates,
epoxides, halomethanes, selected alkyl halides, and phosphorus
esters. Estimates rate constants for acid- and base-catalyzed
hydrolysis, but with the exception of phosphorus esters, not neutral
hydrolysis. In addition, HYDROWIN™ identifies a variety of chemical
structure classes for which hydrolysis may be significant (e.g.
carbamates) and gives relevant experimental data.
•KOAWIN: Estimates KOA, the
octanol/air partition coefficient, using the ratio of the octanol/water
partition coefficient (KOW) from KOWWIN™ and the
dimensionless Henry's Law constant (KAW) from HENRYWIN™. KOAhas
multiple uses in chemical assessment.
•AEROWIN™: Estimates the fraction of airborne
substance sorbed to airborne particulates, i.e. the parameter phi (φ),
using three different methods. AEROWIN™ results are also displayed with
AOPWIN™ output as an aid in interpretation of the latter.
•WVOLWIN™: Estimates the rate of volatilization
of a chemical from rivers and lakes; and calculates the half-life for
these two processes from their rates. The model makes certain default
assumptions with respect to water body depth, wind velocity, etc.
•STPWIN™: Using several outputs from EPI
Suite™, this program predicts the removal of a chemical in a typical
activated sludge-based sewage treatment plant. Values are given for
total removal and three processes that may contribute to removal:
biodegradation, sorption to sludge, and air stripping. The program
assumes a standard system design and set of default operating conditions.
•LEV3EPI™: This program contains a level III
multimedia fugacity model and predicts partitioning of chemicals among
air, soil, sediment, and water under steady state conditions for a
default model "environment". Some (but not all) system default values
can be changed by the user.
•ECOSAR™: Estimates the toxicity of chemicals
discharged to water. ECOSAR™ predicts toxicity to fish, aquatic
invertebrates and algae using an extensive set of structure-activity
relationships (SARs). The program estimates a chemical's acute
(short-term) toxicity and, when available, chronic (long-term or
delayed) toxicity.
