Abstract
The sorption of aliphatic amines in model sorbent-water systems [the sorben ts were super-crosslinked polystyrene (SCPS) and silica chemically modified by hexadecyl groups] was studied as a function of aqueous solution pH. At pH < 7, amines were predominantly sorbed in the protonated form. The distri bution constants for the protonated and molecular forms of n-butylamine in the SCPS-water system were calculated (K-D(BH+) = 0.027 +/- 0.003 and K-D(B ) = 0.102 +/- 0.004).
