The solubility of medium molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons and the effects of hydrocarbon co-solutes and salinity

Mutual solubilities of hydrocarbons and water: III. 1‐hexene; 1‐octene; C10C12 hydrocarbons

“…The solubility of 1-methylnaphthalene and l-ethylnaphthalene in water is well established at room temperature (Almgren et al, 1979;Burris, 1985;Eganhouse and Calder, 1976;Mackay and Shiu, 1977;Schwarz, 1977). The new measurements indicate a very rapid increase in solubility at high temperatures.…”

Biogeochemical Processes Governing Exposure and Uptake of Organic Pollutant Compounds in Aquatic Organisms

“…This situation is improving rapidly (12)(13)(14)(15)(16). The influence of temperature and salinity on solubility has been less extensively investigated (16)(17)(18)(19) and requires much further research. Initial assessments of the influence of temperature and salinity on solubilities yield factors of2 to 6 for medium to higher molecular weight range PAHs (e.g., phenanthrene to benzo[alpyrene) over the range oftemperatures and salinities normally found in coastal waters and the open ocean (19).…”

Effect of Biodegradation and Water Washing on Crude Oil Composition

“…Thus, the impact of anaerobes on oil biodegradation is only slight. Alteration of crude oil by water washing has been indirectly studied in the laboratory through determination of water solubilities of individual hydrocarbons and of mixtures of several hydrocarbons and by studying compositional changes of whole crude oils (e.g., McAuliffe, 1966; 01., 1973b;Price, 1976;Eganhouse and Calder, 1976;McAuliffe, 1980;May et 01., 1978a, b;Lafargue and Barker, 1988). Extensive review articles covering work done prior to 1985 on biodegradation and water washing have been prepared by Milner et 01.…”
