Tetradecane Mixture; Naphthalene – Tetradecane Mixture and Special Mixture These mixtures have been created as the following description Equilibrium is take place in closed glass bottles 500ml Bottles keep at room temperature, around 20oC  Phenol – Tetradecane mixture: 50μl Tetradecane + 100g Phenol + 300ml sterilized water  Naphthalene – Tetradecane mixture: 50μl Tetradecane + 1.2g Naphthalene + 300ml sterilized water  Special mixture: 5ml Ethylbenzene + 15ml Toluene + 1.2mg Anthracene + 1.2g Naphthalene + 50μl Tetradecane + 100g Phenol + 300ml sterilized water Initial results of water solubility of Phenol - Tetradecane and Naphthalene – Tetradecane mixture and special mixture are presented in Table 27 and 28 Each mixture had two parallel samples and studied at two ranges of temperature Except Tetradecane, all components of the mixtures were three parallel sampled for the first sampling day Due to limited volume of sample (each sampling for analysis needs 50ml sample), Tetradecane was only one sampled All data shows in Table 27, 28 is average of three parallel sampled of each sample and Tetradecane data is average of three injection of one sample Pure Tetradecane concentration in water was determined and the give value is 3.7μg/l This value falls in the range of listed value in literature A research of Chris Sutton and John A Calder showed solubility of Tetradecane is 2.2 ppb (2.2μg/l) with mole fraction 2.0 x 10-10 Franks (1966) shows the value 6.94 μg/l using chromatography to determine Tetradecane solubility at 25oC Study of Mackay, D.; Shiu (1973) shows the higher value 25.9μg/l using GC/FID, but the temperature is not specified 65 Table 27: Aqueous concentration of components of the mixture Phenol -

Anthracene – Naphthalene have decreased of water solubility in which Ethylbenzene and Naphthalene has significant reduction compared to those in pure form Solubility of mixture Ethylbenzene – Toluene at 20oC and mixture Ethylbenzene – Toluene - Anthracene – Naphthalene at 5oC were calculated from theory The deviation range from 10-20% between calculated and experimental values can be accepted Mixture between Phenol – Tetradecane; Naphthalene – Tetradecane and special mixture which consist of six studied organic compounds have created, first analyzed and need further study 68 References Yalkowsky, S.H and Banerjee, S (1992), Aqueous Solubility Methods of Estimation for Organic Compounds Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, pp 1-8; 11-40; 149-154 Schwarzenbach, R.P., Gschwend, P.M., and Imboden, D.M., Environmental Organic Geochemistry, , John Wiley & Sons, Inc (1993), INCHEM Database, The International Programme on Chemical Safety http://www.inchem.org/pages/icsc.html , visited on 20th Oct 2007 National Institute of Standards and Technology -

UNIFAC method has been developed The main differences compared to original UNIFAC are: • an empirically modified combinatorial part is introduced (In the UNIFAC method, the activity coefficients are calculated from a combinatorial and a residual part Whereas the combinatorial part takes into account the size and form of the molecule, the residual part considers the enthalpic interactions) • temperature-dependent... mobility of the HOC Aqueous solubility of PAH was determined by Donald Mackay and Wan Ying Shiu (1977) The solubility of 32 PAHs has been measured in water at 25oC The results of ten of the compounds compare satisfactorily with literature values Aqueous solubility can then be calculated directly for hydrocarbons which are liquid at 25oC [9] Ghanima K Al-Sharrah, Sami H Ali and Mohamed A Fahim (2001) measured... on data such as solubility and the octanol-water partition coefficient for the calculation of bioconcentration factors, sediment adsorption coefficients, toxicity, and biodegradation rates Simple example, if the amount of seepage water is known, the substance mass in the soil and their water solubility, mass of the contaminating substance which will be transported over the time to the groundwater can... Po is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent at a particular temperature xsolv is the mole fraction of the solvent, exactly it is the fraction of the total number of moles present which is solvent For a mixture of two volatile liquids A and B, equation (10) can be written by equation (11): (11) PA and PB are the partial vapor pressures of the components A and B XA, XB are the mole fraction of the component... results, the authors also explain behaviors of organic mixture and contaminant transport in soil and groundwater The association of the solvents like methylene chloride and choroform with HOC phase will retard the transportations of this relatively mobile solute through sediments contaminated with HOC And the presence of nearly saturated solution of PMOS will reduce the apparent solubility and therefore the. .. measurements There are about 1800 chemical substances in the database and 5200 systems, of which 473 have been critically evaluated Solubility and liquid-liquid equilibrium of binary, ternary and quaternary systems are presented Typical solvents and solutes include water, sea water, heavy water, inorganic compounds, and a variety of organic compounds such as hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols,... rubber cover The rubber of the cover is only in contact with water and the organic phase is above the water After waiting for a certain time for reach equilibrium of the compound in the water phase, aqueous phase is sampled to analyse A syringe can pierce through the rubber cover and take an exact volume of aqueous phase and dilute in to suitable volume for analysing Water solubility of single compounds... described as following: 50 ml of water sample will be extracted 2 times with 5ml n-Heptane, the received 10 ml nHeptane are given over a column of Na2SO4 and Fluorisil The column passed nHeptane will be evaporated in a rotation evaporator to less than 1ml and after refilled with internal standard in n-Heptane to exactly 1 ml Quantification of Tetradecane method used internal standard - Dodecane Calibration... (1974) The results shown these n-paraffins have very low water solubility in ppb range But n-paraffin is less soluble in seawater than in distilled water This work also indicates importance of salting out effect on water solubility This fact explains transportation and fate of paraffins in seawater and estuaries area [12] 15 The solubility of normal paraffins from methane to decane (C10) has been... temperature 300°C To analyze Ethylbenzene and Toluene, 50µl water sample is taken, 9.9ml distilled water and 50µl Sodium Nitrite (Na3N) used as a disinfectant added in to headspace glass vial 22ml, then introduced for GC Quantification of Ethylbenzene and Toluene follow MTBE and TBA method using external standard calibration The detection limits were 5µg/L and 75µg/L, respectively Retention time of Toluene ... 13: Average value of phenol solubility in water 51 Table 14: Solubility of Naphthalene and Anthracene at 20oC 52 o Table 15: Comparison of experimental data and literature data of Antharacene at... standard deviation, deviation coefficient and confident interval The standard deviation of a sample is a measure of how widely values are dispersed from the average value The standard deviation... several dimensions In this case, the contaminated ability of droplet was tested Three parallel samples of each bottle of Ethylbenzene and Anthracene were taken and the analytical values of these
