Water-soluble organics in atmospheric particles: A critical review of the literature and application of thermodynamics to identify candidate compounds

Pradeep Saxena, +1 more
- 01 May 1996 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify specific compounds that are likely to contribute to the water-soluble fraction by juxtaposing observations regarding the extraction characteristics and the molecular composition of atmospheric particulate organics with compound-specific solubility and condensibility for a wide variety of organics.

New mixing rules in simple equations of state for representing vapour-liquid equilibria of strongly non-ideal mixtures☆

Marie-Jose Huron, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1979 - 
TL;DR: Huron and Vidal as mentioned in this paper proposed a new mixing rule in simple equations of state for representing vapour-liquid equilibria of strongly non-ideal mixtures, which can be reduced to the classical quadratic rule for some easily predicted values of the interaction energies.
