Octanol Water Partition Coefficients of Surface and Ground Water Contaminants Found at Military Installations

Abstract

An octanol/water partition coefficient K sub ow is the ratio of the concentrations of the solute in the two phases that are created when water containing the solute is extracted with octanol. K sub ow values are of considerable use in an estimating other equilibrium constants needed for predicting the fate of chemicals in the environment. This paper reports K sub ow values for a number of compounds, some of which are unique to the military. The values have been selected from government reports and the open literature or determined in the U.S. Army Biomedical Research and Development Laboratory. (Author) (TTL)
