Abstract: Microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography(MEEKC) was used as a powerful method for the indirect measurement of oil-water partition coefficients of organic compounds. Considering the problems of determining oil-water partition coefficients by conventional MEEKC, the concentration of solute and high electric-field having impact on the migration behavior of compound was studied, the reason and mechanism of which were also studied. Moreover, an improved method of MEEKC(I-MEEKC) that can be used to solve the problems found was developed. Applying this improved method to determining oil-water partition coefficients for compounds, such as alkyl-benzene: benzene, toluene and ethyl benzene, good result was obtained: the average error between oil-water partition coefficients estimated by using improved MEEKC and literature values published was 0.07 logarithm units. In this work not only a new method was established to measure oil-water partition coefficients with MEEKC, but also the improved MEEKC is developed further and become more reliable and more accurate method for qualitative analysis.
