THE OCTANOL/WATER PARTITION COEFFICIENT OF HUMIC MATERIAL AND ITS DEPENDENCE ON HYDROGEN ION ACTIVITY
The octanol/water partition coefficient of three types of humic material was shown to increase with an increase in the hydrogen ion activity in the range of pH 6.5 to pH 3.5. These results suggest that a lowering of the pH of fresh waters may mobilize otherwise unavailable and potentially toxic humic compounds.
