Lei, Ying Duan published the artcileMeasuring the Octan-1-ol Air Partition Coefficient of Volatile Organic Chemicals with the Variable Phase Ratio Headspace Technique, Formula: C8H18O, the main research area is octanol air partition VOC variable phase ratio headspace; volatile organic compound partition octanol air.
There is a need to determine the equilibrium partition coefficient of volatile organic chems. between octan-1-ol and the gas phase, KOA, because it is being used to assess the potential for respiratory elimination from air-breathing organisms. Here we test the suitability of the variable phase ratio headspace technique for determining the KOA of volatile organic substances, using acetone, acetonitrile, Et acetate, 1,2-dichloroethane, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, p-xylene, trans-decalin, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, and 1,2,3,4-tetramethylbenzene as test substances. The method was found capable of measuring KOA values at temperatures between 40 and 110 °C in the range from 50 to 2000 with a relative standard error of approx. 8%. This allowed for the derivation of KOA values at 25 °C below 10 000. Higher KOA values close to the threshold for respiratory elimination of 100 000 cannot be determined reliably with this method.
