ABSTRACT

Recently, the attempts to set correlation between absorbability of organic substances a, i.e. the amount of substance absorbed from solution or the gas phase by 1 g of absorbent and their physicochemical properties, were only qualitative. It is found that absorption and molecular weight of absorbed substances are symbate, but only for aliphatic compounds with one functional group. Analogous regularities were observed for other characteristics, such as molar volume, solubility in water, Hensch coefficient n (distribution in octanolwater system), molar refraction, parachor, etc.
