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.
The collection of hydrophobic organic pollutants was correlated to their aqueous-octanol distribution coefficient.
Meanwhile, the distribution coefficient and separation factor were calculated and discussed in detail.
TNT exhibited a reasonably constant distribution coefficient between the resin and aqueous phases.
Parameterization results indicated that porosity, distribution coefficient, and Henry's constant were the most significant parameters.
The experimental distribution coefficient was calculated from the equilibrium adsorption yield.
Dimerisation constant, partition coefficient, distribution coefficient, extraction efficiency, and loading ratio were determined.
The loading efficiencies correlate with the distribution coefficient (logD) of small molecules of weak alkaline nature.
