46. Empirical Model Szyszkowski – Langmuir equation Henning (2005) describes complex non reacting organic species by modifying the above equation: σ and σ w are the surface tension of solution and water T is the temperature C is the concentration of soluble carbon (mol C/kg water) a and b constants related to the organic χ Is the carbon content of each species (mol C/kg water) 46

47. “Salting Out” ~ Salt ions surround themselves with a shell of water  Electrostriction ~ Decreases amount of available water for organic ~ “SALT IN” or “SALT OUT” γ and γ o are activity coefficients of organic in salt and water S and S o are solubility of organic in salt and water K s is Setschenow constant C s is salt concentration Setschenow, 1889 Varies on factors such as polarity of the organic, and type of salt 47
