The purpose of this work is to examine the effect of nonuniform distributions of immiscible organic liquid on dissolution behavior, with a specific focus on the condition dependency of dissolution (i.e., mass transfer) rate coefficients associated with applying mathematical models of differing complexities to measured data. Dissolution experiments were conducted using intermediate-scale flow cells packed with sand in which well-characterized zones of residual trichloroethene (TCE) and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCA) saturation were emplaced. A dual-energy gamma radiation system was used for in-situ measurement of NAPL saturation. Aqueous concentrations of TCE and DCA measured in the flow-cell effluent were significantly less than solubility, due primarily to dilution associated with the nonuniform immiscible-liquid distribution and bypass flow effects associated with physical heterogeneity. A quantitative analysis of flow and transport was conducted using a three-dimensional mathematical model wherein immiscible-liquid distribution, permeability variability, and sampling effects were explicitly considered. Independent values for the initial dissolution rate coefficients were obtained from dissolution experiments conducted using homogeneously packed columns. The independent predictions obtained from the model provided good representations of NAPL dissolution behavior and of total TCE/DCA mass removed, signifying model robustness. This indicates that for the complex three-dimensional model, explicit consideration of the larger scale factors that influenced immiscible-liquid dissolution in the flow cells allowed the use of a dissolution rate coefficient that represents only local-scale mass transfer processes. Conversely, the use of simpler models that did not explicitly consider the nonuniform immiscible-liquid distribution required the use of dissolution rate coefficients that are approximately 3 orders of magnitude smaller than the values obtained from the column experiments. The rate coefficients associated with the simpler models represent composite or lumped coefficients that incorporate the effects of the larger scale dissolution processes associated with the nonuniform immiscible-liquid distribution, which are not explicitly represented in the simpler models, as well as local-scale mass transfer. These results demonstrate that local-scale dissolution rate coefficients, such as those obtained from column experiments, can be used in models to successfully predict dissolution and transport of immiscible-liquid constituents at larger scales when the larger scale factors influencing dissolution behavior are explicitly accounted for in the model.
PURPOSE: This work examines the lipophilic behavior of various zwitterions and shows how distribution profiles in biphasic systems and ionic partition diagrams may improve our understanding of pH-absorption profiles of drugs. METHODS: The lipophilicity of various zwitterionic drugs was examined by potentiometry and cyclic voltammetry in the 1,2-dichloroethane/water system to study the intramolecular interactions and conformational effects affecting absorption and activity of zwitterions, as well as to draw their theoretical and experimental ionic partition diagrams. RESULTS: Different theoretical partition diagrams are reported according to the tautomeric constant of the zwitterion. Shifts of apparent PKa are obtained in the ionic partition diagrams of raclopride and eticlopride and compared to the deviations from pH-absorption profile described in the literature for lipophilic drugs. The physicochemical origin of these shifts is discussed. CONCLUSIONS: The comparison between pH-absorption profiles and ionic partition diagrams of zwitterions is shown here to be of value for a better mechanistic understanding of absorption processes, thus opening new perspectives in studying pH-absorption profiles of ionizable drugs.
