Record 1 2008-05-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

[the sorption phenomenon] is linear and reversible so that the concentration per unit mass of the immobile phase, F, is linked to the concentration per unit volume of the mobile phase, C, for each element, by the relation : F=Kd C where Kd is known as the "distribution coefficient" relative to each element and each type of rock.

PHR

Magnitude of the distribution coefficient.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
  • Chimie analytique
DEF

Rapport des concentrations respectives du soluté dans la phase stationnaire et la phase mobile, au cours de l'analyse.

CONT

Quand un élément chimique s'incorpore dans deux minéraux qui cristallisent simultanément, il se fait un partage suivant une proportion, dite coefficient de partage, qui dépend de la température surtout, et de la pression.

OBS

coefficient de partage : Dictionnaire contextuel de chromatographie.
