Project Details:

Evaluation of Methods for Obtaining Relevant Physiochemical Properties of Environmentally Important Organic Compounds

Project No.:320-22-98
Start date:1998-01-01
End date:2001-12-31
Division:Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry Division
Objective:

This is the second of two new projects dealing with important environmental issues. It will focus on various properties, such as vapor pressures, water solubility, Henry's law constant, adsorption coefficient, diffusion coefficient, dissociation constant of acids and bases and octanol/water partition coefficients, and the recommended methods for measuring them.

Description:
No description available.
Progress:
  • A group of experts in the various measurements has been constituted. This project will be carried out in cooperation with IUPAC Commission VI.1 and with OECD, which has set rules for measuring these quantities.
