COMMISSION ON SOLUBILITY DATA (V.8)
SUBCOMMITTEE ON LIQUID SOLUBILITIES

Number: 582/6/85

Title: Aliphatic Halogenated Hydrocarbons in Water: Part II - Halogenated Ethanes and Ethylenes with Water; Part III - Halogenated Aliphatic Compounds C3-C14 with Water

Coordinator(s): A. Horvath and F.W. Getzen

Completion Date: 1999

Objective:
These three volumes cover the solubilities of halogenated aliphatics with water, heavy water and aqueous electrolyte solutions. The importance of these data arises from the fact that halogenated aliphatics have worldwide commercial and agricultural use. In such applications, often from spillage, leakage or mishandling, they contact environmental water and are exposed to the atmosphere. The data are essential for concentration estimates for halogenated aliphatics present in drinking and ground water, foodstuffs, human tissue, marine organisms and the atmosphere. The halogenated aliphatics are of particular interest worldwide to health scientists, engineers, environmentalists and atmospheric chemists in that they represent a class of chemical materials which has many significant industrial and agricultural applications. Even so, these substances have been shown, in some cases, to be carcinogenic and also to be especially damaging to the earth's atmospheric ozone depletion. The high ozone depletion potentials of members of this class of chemical substances emphasizes the importance of having available complete, accurate and reliable data for mutual solubilities with water. These data also provide significant solubilities for worldwide health studies of human and biological systems.

Progress: Project Completed
Because of the extensive references involved this volume has been divided into three volumes:

  • Part I: Solubility Data Series, Vol. 60, Halogenated Methanes with Water (1995)
  • Part II: IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series, Vol. 67, Halogenated Ethanes and Ethenes with Water, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 28(2), pp. 395-627 (1999).
    > Volume description >Chem. Int. 22(4), 118 (2000)
  • Part III: IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series, Vol. 68, Halogenated Aliphatic Compounds C3-C14 with Water, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 28(3), pp. 649-777 (1999).
    > Volume description >Chem. Int. 22(4), 119 (2000)
