Description:
This report is the second of a series of two reports dealing with the removal of certain of the organic EPA Priority Pollutants from water by means of solvent extraction. The principal focus of the project has been measurement of equilibrium distribution coefficients (equivalent to partition coefficients, or solvent capacities) for extraction of these organic solutes from water by various candidate solvents. The equilibrium distribution coefficient, KD, is defined as the weight fraction of the solute in the solvent phase divided by the weight fraction of the solute in the aqueous phase, at equilibrium and at high dilution.
