WATER SOLUBILITY AND PARTITIONING BEHAVIOR OF BROMINATED PHENOLS

Measurement through the generator column or shake-flask method and by the high performance liquid chromatography method of the water solubility in the temperature range from 283 to 308 K of brominated aromatic compounds used as flame retardants in plastic industrial products. Measurement of fusion and melting point by differential scanning calorimetry. The overall physico-chemical characteristics of bromophenols (BPhs) are compared with those of polychlorinated phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and brominated benzenes with the same solubility as BPhs.
