Acute Toxicity of Binary Mixture Benzene - Ethanol and Partition Coefficient KOW of Benzene and Ethanol
- National Institute of Public Health, Praha, Czech Republic
The study related to partition coefficients between n-octanol and water of compounds in binary mixture benzene-ethanol was carried out. Partition coefficients of benzene and ethanol for different values of molar ratio of benzene in the mixture were determined. Collected results show statistically significant deviations the Kow of benzene for some molar ratios (0.2 to 0.6) from values for pure compound. For ethanol, there are no statistically significant deviations from values for pure compound, however there are some trends of changes of Kow..
