The Henry's Law Constant of Trichloroacetic Acid
1998
Bowden, Derek J. | Clegg, Simon L. | Brimblecombe, Peter
The Henry's law constant of trichloroacetic acid [K′H (mol kg⁻¹ atm⁻¹) for the equilibrium CCl₃COOH₍g₎ ⇌ CCl₃COOH₍ₐq₎] has been determined from measured partial pressures over aqueous solutions at 298.15 K and 308.15 K. Its value is given by: ln(K′H) = (11.21 ± 0.5) – 8.66 × 10³ (l/Tᵣ – l/T) where T (K) is temperature and Tᵣ is equal to 298.15 K, for an aqueous phase dissociation constant (Kₐ) of 0.55 mol kg⁻¹ determined from literature osmotic coefficient and electromotive force data. Accuracy is estimated to be 4–30% in the product K′HKₐ. Trichloroacetic acid is highly soluble and will partition strongly into aqueous atmospheric aerosols, and completely into fog and cloud water. Its occurrence and transport in the environment are therefore to be associated primarily with liquid phases.

1998
Singhal, R. K. | Narayanan, U. | Bhat, I. S.
The work reported here deals with the study of interception/deposition and translocation of ⁸⁵Sr, ¹³¹I, and¹³⁷ Cs in three different types of vegetables i.e. beans (Phasoolus vulgaris), spinach (Spinicia olericia) and radish (Raphanous sative) following redionuclides release to the environment. Activity was injected in the experimental chamber in the form of aerosols having a size distribution of 0.3–1.0 µm (AMAD). Plant samples were collected soon after the injection for the evaluation of interception/deposition factors (IF/DF) for the different parts of the plants, as well as for the whole plant and the washable fraction of the deposited activity and its variation with time. The evaluated IF/DF shows a minimum value of 0.12 m³ kg⁻¹ for ⁸⁵Sr in case of spinach whole plant and maximum value of 1.93 m³ kg⁻¹ for ¹³¹I in case of beans whole plant. Translocation factors (TF) have also been evaluated for the activity that migrates from the above soil plant parts to the root and its variation with time. The evaluated TF shows a range of 7.27 × 10⁻³ to 136 × 10⁻³.
