Solute, and partition coefficients

Tomlinson, E., Hafkenscheid, T. L. (1986) Aqueous solution and partition coefficient estimation from HPLC data. In Partition Coefficient, Determination and Estimation. Dunn, III, W. J., Block, J. H., Pearlman, R. S., Eds., pp. 101-141, Pergamon Press, New York. 

The distribution coefficient may be expressed as a function of the metal association (stabihty) constants in the LM solution, the association constants of metal ions with solvent environment in the feed and in the strip solutions and partition coefficients of the carrier and metal ion. In this case, the separation factor can be determined by stability constants of the metal complexes, formed with functional groups of carrier, if we assume that the metal ions are predominantly present (a) as free ions in the acid solution, so that complex concentrations can be disregarded and (b) as complexes in the LM solutions, so that free ion concentrations can be disregarded.
