Abstract
Passive sampling devices (PSDs) offer key benefits for monitoring of chemical water quality, but the uptake process of PSDs for hydrophilic compounds still needs to be better understood. Determining mass transfer coefficients of the water boundary layer (kw) during calibration experiments and in-situ monitoring would contribute towards achieving this; it allows for combining calibration data obtained in different temperature and hydrodynamic conditions and facilitate the translation of laboratory-derived calibration data to field exposure. This study compared two kw measurement methods applied to extraction disk housings (Chemcatcher), namely alabaster dissolution and dissipation of performance reference compounds (PRCs) from silicone. Alabaster- and PRC-based kw were measured at four flow velocities (5-40 cm s 1) and two temperatures (11 and 20 °C) in a channel system. Data were compared using a relationship based on Sherwood, Reynolds and Schmidt numbers. Good agreement was observed between data obtained at both temperatures, and for the two methods. Data were well explained by a model for mass transfer to flat plate under laminar flow. It was slightly adapted to provide a semi-empirical model accounting for the effects of housing design on hydrodynamics. The use of PRC-spiked silicone to obtain in-situ integrative kw for Chemcatcher-type PSDs is also discussed.
