Partition Coefficient 1
Partition Coefficient 1 :
A constant symbolizing the ratio of the concentration of a solute in the upper of two phases in equilibrium to its concentration in the lower phase. Chemicals in solution are partitioned into dissolved and particulate adsorbed phase based on their corresponding sediment-to-water partitioning coefficient. Concentration: Amount of a substance or material in a given unit volume of solution; usually measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or parts per million (ppm). Sediment: Particulate organic and inorganic matter that accumulates in a loose, unconsolidated form on the bottom of natural waters
