Abstract

Immobilization of chlorinated solvents with hydropropyl and methyl cyclodextrins (CDs) was observed by head-space analysis to obtain the stability constants in single and multiple component systems. In each single component system, the highest stability constant was 0.299 mM(-1) for perchloroethylene (PCE) by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (M-beta-CD), 0.136 mM(-1) for trichloroethylene (TCE) by M-beta-CD, 0.106 mM(-1) for cis-dichloroethylene (cis-DCE) by hydropropyl-alpha-cyclodextrin, and 0.090 mM(-1) for trans-dichloroethylene (trans-DCE) by M-beta-CD. When HP-beta-CD and M-beta-CD were used, the stability constants of PCE and TCE increased and those of DCEs decreased in a multiple component system. Differences in stability constants of single and multiple component systems thus should be important parameters when cyclodextrins are applied to solubilization of multiple chlorinated solvents.
