Gas/solid and gas/liquid partitioning of organic compounds: critical evaluation of the interpretation of equilibrium constants
Article Abstract:
The possibility exists with regards to the occurrence of marked deviation between m and -1 under equilibrium adsorption and absorption. The deviations that might occur under equilibrium adsorption and absorption do not necessarily suggests the existence of nonequilibrium effects. With the presence of true equilibrium partitioning data, slope m can be useful in soliciting information regarding unknown sorbents.

Conceptual model for the adsorption of organic compounds from the gas phase to liquid and solid surfaces
Article Abstract:
An extended model that makes use of other parameters due to the limited availability of the thermodynamic parameters or surface free energies can effectively predict the adsorption of organic compounds from the gas phase to liquid and solid surfaces. In its current form, the model is unable to demonstrate the intermolecular interactions in the gas phase of lateral adsorbate-adsorbate interactions.

Validity of global lifetime estimates by a simple general limiting law for the decay of organic compounds with long-range pollution potential
Article Abstract:
A simple general limiting law proves useful in validating global lifetime estimates for the decay of organic compounds with long-range pollution potential. The law is considered a perfect estimate if degradation is slower than transport and should not be used as an estimate if the pollutant has fast decaying time and confined only to a limited area.
