Sorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol to Surface Soils: Nonequilibrium-phase Distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonequilibrium-phase distribution of the pesticide derivative 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) was studied in the context of two surface soils. DCP sorption was evaluated for five different initial aqueous concentrations of the solute -5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 μM. Solute-soil contact times were 0.02, 1, 7, 14, 28, 56, and 84 days. Uniformly ring-14C-labelled DCP was used to improve detection limits and track the contaminant among various soil components. The sorbed DCP was subjected to a single water extraction, followed by sequential methanol and alkali extractions. 14C activities associated with the different extracts, as well as the humic acid, fulvic acid, and soil/humin fractions, were quantified. Direct determination of solidphase radioactivity was performed utilizing a biological oxidizer. The nonequilibrium-sorption behavior was expressed in terms of phase-distribution relationships (PDRs), sorption isotherms, hysteresis indices (HIs), and time-dependent distributions of the contaminant among various soil components.

Sorption of polar and nonpolar aromatic compounds to four surface soils of eastern China.
Improved predictions on the fate of organic pollutants in surface environments require a better understanding of the underlying sorption mechanisms that control their uptake by soils. In this study, we monitored sorption of nine aromatic compounds with varying physicochemical properties (hydrophobicity, electron-donor/acceptor ability and polarity), including two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon...

The poor mobility of organic pollutants in contaminated sites frequently results in slow remediation processes. Organics, especially hydrophobic compounds, are generally retained strongly in soil matrix as a result of sorption, sequestration, or even formation into non-aqueous-phase liquids and their mobility is thus greatly reduced. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility o...

Urethane copolymer sorbent materials that incorporate β-cyclodextrin (CD) have been prepared and their sorption properties with chlorinated aromatic compounds (i.e., pentachlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) have been evaluated. The sorption properties of granular activated carbon (GAC) were similarly compared in aqueous solution at variable pH conditions. The s...

Chlorophenols are one of the most important groups of priority pollutants, due to their high toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. Although activated carbon has been the preferred choice for the removal of such pollutants from wastewaters, the search for cheaper alternative sorbents became common in the last years. Fly ash, a by-product from coal burning power plants, has a surface compos...

It has been suggested that monoterpenes emitted within the soil profile, either by roots or by decaying biomass, may enhance the biodegradation of organic pollutants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the catabolism of 2,4-dichlorophenol in soils. Soils were collected from areas surrounding monoterpene (woodland) and nonmonoterpene...
