The ratio of the concentration of a material in the octanol phase to the concentration in the aqueous phase of a two-phase octanol-water system. 10, record 2, English, - octanol%2Dwater%20partition%20coefficient
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The octanol-water partition coefficient is the ratio of the concentration of a chemical in octanol and in water at equilibrium and at a specified temperature. Octanol is an organic solvent that is used as a surrogate for natural organic matter. This parameter is used in many environmental studies to help determine the fate of chemicals in the environment. An example would be using the coefficient to predict the extent a contaminant will bioaccumulate in fish. The octanol-water partition coefficient has been correlated to water solubility; therefore, the water solubility of a substance can be used to estimate its octanol-water partition coefficient. 11, record 2, English, - octanol%2Dwater%20partition%20coefficient

The "shake flask" method described is based on the OECD [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] Test Guideline [i.e. the 1981 Test Guideline 107.] This test method includes two separate procedures: the shake-flask method and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). ... The shake-flask method applies only to essentially pure substances soluble in water and n-octanol. It is not applicable to surface active materials (for which a calculated value or an estimate based on the individual n-octanol and water solubilities should be provided). 2, record 3, English, - shake%2Dflask%20method
