9 artition of chemicals in the environment

10 artition of chemicals in the environment hemical potentials μ i : not measurable, logarithmically-related to concentration μ i μ 0 + i i RT ln : vapor pressure of i hase transfer occurs from the higher to the lower μ i, and stops when μ i are equals in all phases. Fugacity f (Lewis 90): calculable, linearly-related to concentration mol m -3 Z f mol m -3 a - a μ i (real gas) μ 0 i + RT ln f fi i 0

11 The fugacity approach to partition Fugacity is a sort of partial pressure, that applies as well to compartments when no gas phase exists (organisms). hemicals diffuse from compartments where their fugacity is high to the compartment where their fugacity is the lowest. At equilibrium, the fugacity of a chemical is equal in all phases fi (l) fi(s) f i (g) The environmental partitionning of a substance is driven by its fugacity capacity Z in all compartments: Z, Z, Z ifish. Z i is constant for each chemical and compartment.

16 Fugacity in a liquid phase Fugacity in the liquid phase f i (l) ( x γ f R ) x γ x is the molar fraction in the liquid (water) phase γ is the activity coefficient. It can be viewed as the ratio of the activity (or fugacity) of i to the activity (or fugacity) that i would have in a pure solution of its own kind.

22 Air-water exchange: Henry Law s constant Air-water equilibrium can be characterized by two constants, the A and the Henry Law s constant, H (or H).

24 The fugacity approach to partition: do not forget Alike all, A and H are relatedtot T dependence is a critical factor of air-water partition T is a preminent criteria driving contaminant repartion through volatilization and condensation. To understand T dependence of air-water partition, thermodynamic allows to predict relationships, and they should be validated by measurements afterwards.
