英文摘要:
By a soil column liquid chromatograph (SCLC) method, the soil organic carbon content normalized adsorption cocfficients (K-oc) of six polybrominated biphenyls (PBB15, PBB26, PBB31, PBB49, PBB103 and PBB153) are determined. Based on the similarity between the molecular structures of PBBs and PCBs, a simple linear predictive model has been developed with the correlation coefficient R = 0.9812 and standard error SE = 0.19. The logK(oc) values of any PBB congeners can be predicted by using the log K-oc values of the corresponding PCBs according to this model. Using the published data for logK(oc) values of PCB congeners, logK(oc) values of all 209 PBB congeners have been for the first time predicted. Compared with the data obtained from the experiment, the results of prediction are very accurate. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
