TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed correlations for the Henry's constant kH and the vapor-liquid distribution constant KD for 14 solutes in H2O and seven solutes of D2O.
Abstract: We have developed correlations for the Henry’s constant kH and the vapor–liquid distribution constant KD for 14 solutes in H2O and seven solutes in D2O. The solutes considered are common gases that might be encountered in geochemistry or the power industry. Solubility data from the literature were critically assessed and reduced to the appropriate thermodynamic quantities, making use of corrections for nonideality in the vapor and liquid phases as best they could be computed. While the correlations presented here cover the entire range of temperatures from near the freezing point of the solvent to high temperatures approaching its critical point, the main emphasis is on representation of the high-temperature behavior, making use of asymptotic relationships that constrain the temperature dependence of kH and KD near the critical point of the solvent.
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical equation of the reversible polarographic currentpotential curves for the ion transfer across the aqueous/organic interface facilitated by the neutral macrocyclic ligand present in the o-phase is derived without any limitation on the magnitude of distribution constant of the ligand.
Abstract: A theoretical equation of the reversible polarographic current-potential curves for the ion transfer across the aqueous/organic interface facilitated by the neutral macrocyclic ligand present in the o-phase is derived without any limitation on the magnitude of distribution constant of the ligand. In two limiting cases, which have been employed in common experimental practice, i.e., (A) the bulk concentration of cation, c*M, in the aqueous phase >> that of ligand, c*L, in the organic phase and (B) the reverse condition, c*M<
TL;DR: Using a comparison of system constant ratios chromatographic systems employing reversed-phase liquid chromatography on polar bonded phases are shown to provide suitable models for estimating soil-water distribution constants, no suitable gas Chromatographic models were found for the soil-air distribution constant.
TL;DR: The effective diffusion coefficient, De, and the distribution constant, Ki, for selected mono‐ and disaccharides and organic acids were determined in homogeneous calcium‐alginate gel with and without entrapped bacteria.
Abstract: The effective diffusion coefficient, D(e), and the distribution constant, K(i), for selected mono- and disaccharides and organic acids were determined in homogeneous calcium-alginate gel with and without entrapped bacteria. Results were obtained from transient concentration changes in well-stirred solutions of limited volume, in which the gel beads were suspended. The effective diffusioncoefficients and the distribution constants were estimated by fitting mathematical model predictions to the experimental data using a nonlinear model fitting program (MODFIT). Both single solute diffusion and multiple solute diffusion were performed. A small positive effect was obtained onthe values of D(e) for the system of multiple solute diffusion; however, the values of K(i) were not significantly influenced. For the nine solutes tested, D(e) for 2% Ca-alginate gel beads was found to be approximately 85% of the diffusivity measured in water. The effects on D(e) and K(i), for lactose and lactic acid were determined for variations of alginate concentration, pH, temperature, and biomass content in the beads. D(e) decreased linearly for both lactose and lactic acid with increasing cell concentration in the Ca-alginate gel. K(i), was constant for both lactose and lactic acid with increasing cell concentration. D(e) was significantly lower at pH 4.5 than at pH 5.5 and 6.5 for both lactose and lactic acid. Furthermore, D(e) seemed to decrease with increased alginate concentration in the range of 1% to 4%. The diffusion rate increased with increasing temperature, and the activation energy for the diffusion process for both lactose and lactic acid was constant in the temperature range tested.
