Temperature Dependence of Physical–Chemical Properties of Selected Chemicals of Environmental Interest. I. Mononuclear and Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Abstract

Physical–chemical property data, which control air–water partitioning, namely vapor pressure, aqueous solubility and Henry’s law constant over the environmentally relevant temperature range of 5–50 °C, are compiled and reviewed for the mononuclear aromatic and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Corresponding enthalpies of phase transition are also reported. As result of a critical review, selected values are given at 25 °C, and where possible equations expressing the temperature dependence are given. Twenty-one aromatic hydrocarbons are studied, with approximately 300 references.
