These two volumes contain twenty six chapters, each one dealing with a method for estimating a physico-chemical property of environmentally Important organic compounds. For the most part, each chapter provides "(1) a general discussion of the property and its Importance in environmental considerations, (2) an overview of available estimation methods, (3) a description plus step-by-step Instructions for each selected method, (4) worked-out examples for each method, (5) a listing of sources of available data on the property, (6) a list of symbols u ed, and (7) the cited references." The chapters in the book are ... 

Physical property estimation methods may be classified into six general areas (1) theory and empirical extension of theory, (2) corresponding states, (3) group contributions, (4) computational chemistry, (5) empirical and quantitative structure property relations (QSPR) correlations, and (6) molecular simulation. A quick overview of each class is given below to provide context for the methods and to define the general assumptions, accuracies, and limitations inherent in each. 

The transport properties of the supercritical fluids fall somewhat in between the gas and the liquid and also depend on how removed one is from the critical point. Dense gasses have the solubilizing power of liquids and the mobility of gasses as depicted in Table 20.1.3. There are quite a few empirical correlations and theoretical models, which are primarily extensions of corresponding low-pressure liquid and gas counter parts. Similarly, some of the classical experimental methods can be used for measurement of transport properties of supercritical fluids. A rather brief overview of the methods applicable for supercritical fluids will be presented since specialized reviews in the area give a good account of the state of the art. " " For engineering purposes, one can use applicable property estimation methods available in flowsheet simulators such as ASPEN PLUS, PROll, G-PROMS, and CHEMCAD. These methods are discussed in a text classical in the field." ... 

In this book, the experts who have developed and tested many of the currently used electronic structure procedures present an authoritative overview of the theoretical tools for the computation of thermochemical properties of atoms and molecules. The first two chapters describe the highly accurate, computationally expensive approaches that combine high-level calculations with sophisticated extrapolation schemes. In chapters 3 and 4, the widely used G3 and CBS families of composite methods are discussed. The applications of the electron propagator theory to the estimation of energy changes that accompany electron detachment and attachment processes follow in chapter 5. The next two sections of the book focus on practical applications of the aforedescribed...

Table 2.1 presents an overview of factors that can potentially be considered for optimization and robustness testing of CE methods. Lists of commonly used electrolytes/buffers (20-23) or additives (20) and characteristic properties of frequently applied solvents and surfactants (20) can be found in the literature. Sample concentration (see Table 2.1) is a factor occasionally included. However, the aim of the analytical method is to estimate this concentration through the measured signal, from a calibration procedure. In method optimization, responses related to the quality of the separation, for example, resolutions, are considered, and in this situation one can verify whether the sample... 

This chapter provides a brief overview of in situ geotechnical penetration tests. Methods of estimating or determining dynamic soil properties from the SPT, CPT, and DMT are explained. A historical overview of correlations, as well as methods for directly measuring the shear wave velocity (F ), is presented. 

Abstract Basic principles of calorimetry coupled with other techniques are introduced. These methods are used in heterogeneous catalysis for characterization of acidic, basic and red-ox properties of solid eatalysts. Estimation of these features is achieved by monitoring the interaction of various probe molecules with the surface of such materials. Overview of gas phase, as well as liquid phase techniques is given. Special attention is devoted to coupled calorimetry-volumetry method. Furthermore, the influence of different experimental parameters on the results of these techniques is discussed, since it is known that they can significantly influence the evaluation of catalytic properties of investigated materials.
