Book excerpt: ISBN-13 978-1-896997-59-9 PDF © Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment 2006 NOTE TO READERS The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) is the major intergovernmental forum in Canada for discussion and joint action on environmental issues of national, international and global concern. [...] A draft of this report was submitted by Komex International Ltd on behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) to the Soil Quality Guidelines Task Group and to the Water Quality Task Group of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment for consideration as Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines. [...] The relationship between compound properties and fate and behaviour can be used to predict the potential for the persistence and transport of sulfolane in the environment. [...] The organic carbon-water partition coefficient (Koc) and the n-octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) represent the equilibrium ratio of sulfolane sorbed by organic carbon or octanol to its concentration in water, respectively, and are reported in Table 1. The low Koc, Kow, and pKa (negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant) values, and the high water solubility of sulfolane are cons [...] Once in the saturated zone, the migration rate of sulfolane is likely a function of the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer material, the hydraulic gradient, and the susceptibility of sulfolane to biological attenuation processes (i.e., biodegradation).
