class gnome.utilities.weathering.lee_huibers.Toluene

Bases: object

The measured values of the known aromatic, toluene

mol_wt = 92.1

density = 866.0

k_ow = 1000.0

class gnome.utilities.weathering.lee_huibers.LeeHuibers

Bases: object

The combination of correlations by Huibers and Katritzky (1998) and Lee et al (1992) to estimate the correlation between a specific aromatic hydrocarbon’s density and molecular weight with its partition coefficient.

rho_arom = density of aromatic

mol_wt = molecular weight

s = solubility

s = Huibers(rho_arom, mol_wt)

k_ow = Lee(s)

= Lee(Huibers(rho_arom, mol_wt))

We calibrate an empiric coefficient A with the measured values of Toluene.

A

classmethod partition_coeff(mol_wt, density)

Parameters:

• mol_wt – Molecular weight in kg/kmole

• density – Density in kg/m^3
