Volatilization of Tetrachloroethene

Submitted : Fall 2013


Tetrachloroethene is a volatile organic compound: when it contaminates a river indirectly through soil contamination, some of the substance will evaporate as it flows through. We examine the volumetric flow rate to find how volatilization affects the concentration levels of tetrachloroethene as the substance flows through several consecutive sections of a river, using a specific example to illustrate the general method.
