26、internalmass transfer limitations (for example, diffusion through thematerial), while emissions of SVOCs are typically controlledby external mass transfer limitations (migration through the airimmediately above the material). The emission of some chemi-cals may be controlled by both internal and ext

27、ernal masstransfer limitations. In addition, due to their lower vaporpressure, SVOCs generally adsorb to different media (chamberwalls, building materials, particles, and other surfaces) atgreater rates than VOCs. This sorption can increase the amountof time required to reach steady-state SVOC conce

A mass transfer fram

TheSVOC mass transfer framework includes SVOC emissioncharacteristics and its partition to multimedia including sorp-tion to indoor surfaces, airborne particles, and

Overview of Concepts Related to Organic ChemicalEmissions in Indoor Environments5.1 Semi-Volatile Organic Compound (SVOC)There aremany

31、 physical property based definitions used to describe thedifference between a Very Volatile Organic Compound(VVOC), a VOC, an SVOC, and a Non-Volatile OrganicCompound (NVOC). The definitions typically are based on thechemicalsvapor pressure at 25 C, the chemical boiling point,or the relative positio

32、n (time) a chemical is observed on achromatograph. These definitions are useful to differentiatebetween chemicals in laboratory settings and experiments.Table 1 lists the different physical property-based definitionsfrom ten different references. The data in Table 1 are notprovided as authoritative

33、definitions for VOC and SVOCs, butrather to inform the reader to the extent of variation in accepteddefinitions for these terms. As an example, the chemicalproperties used to differentiate between a VOC and an SVOCare listed in the row between the VOC and SVOC rows. Thereare five different boiling p

34、oints spanning a 107 C range thathave been used to define the cut off between a VOC and anSVOC. The delineation between VOC and SVOC is furthercomplicated by the fact that some chemicals do not have anaccurately measured boiling point or decompose prior toboiling. Likewise, there are no universally

35、accepted vaporpressure or chromatographic retention time delineations be-tween VOCs and SVOCs. The use of chromatographic reten-tion time as a delineator is further complicated because3For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm

37、SVOCs, orNVOCs using chemical properties such as vapor pressure andboiling point may have limited value when trying to describehow chemicals emit from materials in indoor environments.This is especially true for chemicals close to the edge of thesephysical property definitions.5.1.2 When modeling ma

38、terial emissions into an indoorenvironment, the classification (VOC, SVOC) is not as impor-tant as defining the rate limiting step for the emission of thechemical. The rate limiting step is the slowest step in themigration of a chemical from the interior of the material to thebulk air and is a funct

39、ion of the chemical, material, andenvironment combination. Chemicals emitting from materialscan be broadly classified into three groups: (1) chemicalswhere the rate limiting step is the migration of the chemical tothe materials surface (internal mass transfer, typical of chemi-cals classified as VOC

40、s), (2) chemical where the rate limitingstep is the migration of the chemical from the materials surfaceto the bulk air (external mass transfer, typical of chemicalsclassified as SVOCs), or (3) chemicals where the rate ofmigration of the chemical to the material surface and migrationof the chemical

41、from the material surface into the bulk air aresimilar for a given environment.5.1.3 In addition, the emission of a chemical might belimited by internal diffusion in one material, but limited byexternal mass transfer in another material depending upon thematerial composition and physical structure.

42、These casesillustrate that there is no definitive delineation between a VOCor an SVOC from either a chemical characteristic definition orfrom a mass transfer framework.5.2 Mass Transfer ParametersTo understand how VOCand SVOC emissions differ, it is important to understand amathematical model of mas
