determine fractio of organic carbon in soil
« on: March 05, 2012, 02:52:20 PM »
Hello to All:

Could you please my answer?! Thanks in advance!



How to determine fractio of organic carbon in soil (foc)?

Given:

Soil water partition coefficient Ksw or Kp=15 (dimensionless mass based)
Octanol-water partition coeff Kow=100
Organic-octanol carbon partition coeff=0.090mg/kg of octanol/mg/kg of organic carbon
Density of octanol=0.82g/cm3.

Ksw=Koc*foc
foc=Koc/Ksw=0.082/10=0.0082
but what about other values such as density of octanol?

Many thanks.
TJ
