Both the selectivity and the distribution coefficient were used in the assessment of the extraction solvent feasibility and a correlation of these parameters with the ionicity of the HIILs was established.
Also, the performance of MEUF process was assessed through estimation of the distribution coefficient, vesicle loading and vesicle binding constants for both Cd+2 and p-cresol.
Some separation methods (absorption, extraction) rely on differences in solubility, expressed as the distribution coefficient (ratio of a material's solubilities in two solvents).
A measure of this preference is the distribution coefficient, k, defined as the ratio of the concentration of B in the just-forming solid A to that in liquid A. At very slow freezing rates an equilibrium exists; the distribution coefficient under these equilibrium conditions is termed k0.
The distribution coefficient of montmorillonite, rectorite, illite, quartz and cristobalite was determined from the mineral composition and the distribution coefficient of samples with a linear model.
The solubility of the phenolic in the solvent divided by that in water is called the distribution coefficient, and it is clear that for an efficient extraction process it is desirable to have as large a distribution coefficient as possible.
In distillation if the separation in boiling points is not favourable, the still is made longer; in zone refining if the distribution coefficient is close to unity, the ratio of ingot length to zone length is made larger.
Di Pasquale, E. et al. Biophysical studies of the interaction of squalamine and other cationic amphiphilic molecules with bacterial and eukaryotic membranes: importance of the distribution coefficient in membrane selectivity.
Meanwhile, the distribution coefficient and separation factor were calculated and discussed in detail.
The loading efficiencies correlate with the distribution coefficient (logD) of small molecules of weak alkaline nature.
