The aqueous solubility of trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) as a function of temperature
TL;DR: In this article, a flexible Au bag autoclave and a precision high-pressure liquid chromatography pump were used to calculate the partial molal thermodynamic quantities of the organic liquid aqueous dissolution reactions: Δ Ḡ soln, Δ H soln, Δ S soln and Δ C p soln.

Impacts of charcoal characteristics on sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Hongwen Sun,Zunlong Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: Though partition could not be neglected for sawdust and charcoal containing large sawdust residue, adsorption controlled the sorption of PAHs on matured charcoals, where pi-pi electron donor-acceptor (EDA) exerted as the main molecular-scale interactions.

A SPME‐based method for rapidly and accurately measuring the characteristic parameter for DEHP emitted from PVC floorings
TL;DR: A new method which uses solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to measure the concentration of an SVOC emitted by source material placed in a sealed chamber and a correlation that reveals the effects of temperature, the mass fraction of DEHP in the source material, and ysat on y0 was established should be useful in estimating and controlling human exposure to indoor DEHP.

Wei-xian Zhang,Edward J. Bouwer +1 more
TL;DR: Aerobic biodegradation of benzene, toluene and naphthalene was studied in pre-equilibrated soil-waterslurry microcosms.
Review of Formulations for Processes Affecting the Subsurface Transport of Explosives.
TL;DR: Hadala et al. as mentioned in this paper focused on the migration of explosives in soils, the vadose zone, and aquifers, under varying management and treatment strategies, and found that the soil environment is the one most commonly affected by explosives wastes, primarily because: (1) spill sites and disposal areas at packing and production facilities are predominantly in upland areas, and (2) most explosive compounds are solids with low aqueous solubility.
