A Physical Concept of Soil-Water Equilibria for Nonionic Organic Compounds

CARY T. CHIOU 1, LOUIS J. PETERS 1, and VIRGIL H. FREED 1

1 Agricultural Chemistry Department, Oregon State University, Corvallis 97331

Soil-water equilibrium data suggest that the transfer of nonionic chemicals from water to soil may be described in terms of a hypothesis of solute partitioning in the soil organic matter. This concept allows estimation of soil-water distribution coefficients either from solvent-water partition coefficients or aqueous solubilities.
