Editorial summary

The study develops a one-FLEC inverse-analysis procedure for estimating diffusion and partition coefficients of eight VOCs in cement slabs. Outlet concentrations measured by sorbent-tube thermal desorption and GC-MS were fitted to transient mass-diffusion equations, with a second mass-balance estimate used to check the partition coefficient.

FLEC use

FLEC method, modelling or validation

The central contribution is a FLEC-based inverse method for determining material diffusion and partition coefficients, which takes precedence over direct experimental-tool use under the taxonomy.
