Abstract
A complete model incorporating all known transport mechanisms for solutes between aqueous and organic solvent phases in solvent sublation is proposed. The predictions from the model with respect to the different transport mechanisms were substantiated with experiments on the solvent sublation of neutral pentachloro-phenol (PCP) molecules (pH = 3.0) and ionic PCP molecules as PCP + hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide complex (pH = 8.9) into different solvents—mineral oil (a nonionic solvent) and decyl alcohol (a partly ionic solvent). Effects of inorganic salts on the sublation of both types of PCP molecules were investigated.
