Abstract
The solubility in water and the partition coefficients, K, in soils samples of residues of petroleum of different ages were determined using an organi c cosolvent (methanol), and the solvophobic theory was applied for the inte rpretation of results. The behavior of the residuals turned out to be depen dent of the cosolvent fraction. The values of K's vary among 900 (Lkg(-1)) and 2,900 (Lkg(-1)) showing a general and marked increase for residues of i ncreasing age. The determined parameters are useful for the modeling of env ironmental impact in polluted soils.
