A new Method for the Calculation of Partition Coefficients from Experimental Data for Both Mixtures and Pure Compounds

A new method for estimating partition coefficients from data collected using the filter probe extractor (or similar equipment) is described. The method was developed to analyse the data from a two-component mixture, which cannot be dealt with using the conventional form of data analysis. It is suggested that not only is this method suitable for mixtures but that it also offers advantages for pure compounds.
