Henry's Law constant
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- Henry's law constant
- Type of information:
- other: secondary source
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Calculated value stated in the EU RAR
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Version / remarks:
- A calculated Henry's Law constant value for acrylonitrile is stated in the EU RAR (2004)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The EU RAR (2004) states a calculated Henry's Law constant value for acrylonitrile.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- H:
- 9.6 Pa m³/mol
- Conclusions:
- Acrylonitrile can be regarded as a moderately volatile compound, based on the calculated Henry's Law constant of 9.6 Pa/m3/mol-1.
- Executive summary:
Transfer of acrylonitrile from the aqueous to the atmospheric compartment can potentially arise as a consequence of volatilisation and air stripping from WWTP, given the relatively high vapour pressure of acrylonitrile. However this is counterbalanced by its high water solubility. Acrylonitrile can be regarded as a moderately volatile compound, based on the calculated Henry's Law constant of 9.6 Pa/m3/mol-1. There is little experimental evidence available to prove or disprove the possibility of volatilisation, and in practice direct transfer of acrylonitrile from water to air is likely to be minimal, particularly in WWTP where rates of biodegradation are likely to far exceed the potential volatilisation. This is supported by the results of Freeman and Schroy (1984) and Stover and Kincannon (1983).
