- Executive summary:
A study was conducted with fask method to determine the vapour pressure of limonene. The test substance was placed in small glass cup, suspended above water, set into a shaking flask. After saturation, the gas samples were extracted with isooctane solution and analysed using GC. Vapor pressure was calculated from its gas-phase concentration, using the ideal gas equation.
The experimental vapour pressure of limonene was 202 Pa (at 23.5 °C) and 18.4 Pa (at 6 °C). Estimated vapor pressure values of limonene at 23.5 °C were 272 Pa (Banerjee's model) and 193 Pa (SPARC model).
