Evaluation and Prediction of Henry's Law Constants and Aqueous Solubilities for Solvents and Hydrocarbon Fuel Components. Volume 1. Technical Discussion

Abstract

Laboratory measurements of Henry's law constants are reported for 51 chemicals, spanning a wide range of chemical structures and volatilities. A static headspace method (Equilibrium Partitioning in Closed Systems, referred to as EPICS) was used to measure Henry's Law Constant, with the standard batch air- stripping method used as a check. An average precision of 5 percent was obtained for the EPICS runs, and the Henry's law constants agreed reasonably well(within 10 percent) with the batch air-stripping results and other reported experimental values. Measurements were conducted over a temperature range of 10-30 C, and the data were correlated with a temperature regression equation coupled with a temperature-dependent error term based on 95 percent confidence limits. The aqueous solubilities of the study compounds were also determined via the shake- flask method at temperatures of 10,20, and 30 degrees Celsius. Keywords: Volatile organics, Solvents, Fuels, Henry's law constants, Aqueous solubilities, Air water distribution.
