Abstract
The apparent 1-octanol/water partition coefficient (log PApp) of pentachlorophenol (PCP) varies in non-linear function with pH of the aqueous solution. In the range of pH 1.2 to 13.5 extreme values of log PApp 4.84 at pH 1.2 and log PApp 1.3 at pH 10.5 were observed. In the alkaline regime, log PApp increases strongly with the ionic strength. The ion-corrected partition coefficient of PCP was found to be log P 5.05 in good agreement with literature values.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
