To separate the organic halogen compounds from the matrix of the water or waste water, physico-chemical methods of separation are used, these being... 

The formation of bubbles and their gradual growth are also Influenced by water physico-chemical properties (Inclusions, surface tensions, and specific viscosity). The modeling of the phenomenon Is not easy, especially In the presence of a free surface. 

If the alcohol is required for conductivity or other physico-chemical work and traces of bases are objectionable, these may be removed by redistillation from a little 2 4 6-trinitrobenzoic acid. This acid is selected because it is not esterified by alcohols, consequently no water is introduced into the alcohol. 

Adsorption — An important physico-chemical phenomenon used in treatment of hazardous wastes or in predicting the behavior of hazardous materials in natural systems is adsorption. Adsorption is the concentration or accumulation of substances at a surface or interface between media. Hazardous materials are often removed from water or air by adsorption onto activated carbon. Adsorption of organic hazardous materials onto soils or sediments is an important factor affecting their mobility in the environment. Adsorption may be predicted by use of a number of equations most commonly relating the concentration of a chemical at the surface or interface to the concentration in air or in solution, at equilibrium. These equations may be solved graphically using laboratory data to plot "isotherms." The most common application of adsorption is for the removal of organic compounds from water by activated carbon. 

The following physico-chemical properties of the analyte(s) are important in method development considerations vapor pressure, ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrum, solubility in water and in solvents, dissociation constant(s), n-octanol/water partition coefficient, stability vs hydrolysis and possible thermal, photo- or chemical degradation. These valuable data enable the analytical chemist to develop the most promising analytical approach, drawing from the literature and from his or her experience with related analytical problems, as exemplified below. Gas chromatography (GC) methods, for example, require a measurable vapor pressure and a certain thermal stability as the analytes move as vaporized molecules within the mobile phase. On the other hand, compounds that have a high vapor pressure will require careful extract concentration by evaporation of volatile solvents. 

Physico-chemical properties. Chemical and biochemical degradation pathways and physical mechanisms of removal or disappearance by transport process govern the fate of agrochemicals in the environment. Therefore, the physico-chemical properties of the chemical listed below regarding persistence in sediment or water are important ... 

Test chemicals and their use pattern information, physico-chemical properties of sediment samples, water sample quality, study field information, and climatic conditions of the study area are essential as basic information. Data concerning dissipation patterns or distributions of the chemical should be reported as those in the surface water layer, in the sediment layer, and the sum of the two. The concentration should be expressed as micrograms per kilogram for a sediment (SS also if needed) on a dry weight basis, and micrograms per liter for water.

Laskowski [1] has thoroughly reviewed the physico-chemical properties of the SPs, and these are summarized briefly below. SPs are typically of low water solubility (in the low microgram per liter range) and are highly nonpolar (logarithmic octanol water partition coefficients of around 6-7), indicating potential for bioaccumulation. Fish bioconcentration factors (BCF) of several hundred to several thousand are reported however metabolism limits the amount of bioaccumulation,...
