Ether dialkyl alkanoate ester

This model is based on Sw data spanning 5 log units. Nirmalakhandan and Speece [36,37] discuss the model s validity and robustness in detail. They performed a test using experimental Sw data for esters, ethers, and aldehydes that were not included in the training set. They noted reasonably good agreement between experimental and estimated data for the test set and indicated that eq. 11.5.4 is applicable to dialkyl ethers, alkanals, and alkyl alkanoates, but not for ketones, amines, PAHs, and PCBs. Nirmalakhandan and Speece [37] expanded the model above for the PAHs, PCBs, and PCDDs. However, their model has been criticized by Yalkowsky and Mishra for incorrect and omitted data [38]. The revised model is [38]...
