Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for triacontane is estimated as 1530 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that triacontane is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 6 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 8.1 days(SRC). However, volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be attenuated by adsorption to suspended solids and sediment in the water column. The volatilization half-life from a model pond is greater than 2 years when adsorption is considered(3). Triacontane's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). Triacontane is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an extrapolated vapor pressure of 2.73X10-11 mm Hg at 25 deg C(4).

Soil Adsorption | Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of triacontane can be estimated to be 2.4X10+8(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that triacontane is expected to be immobile in soil. Literature: (1) US EPA; Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite.
