Several factors effect on sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil. Coexistence of metals and organic matter of soil are among important affecting factors on sorptive behavior of PAHs. This research investigated the effect of organic matter content and heavy metals (lead, nickel and zinc), on sorption of phenanthrene onto kaolinite. For this purpose, sorption of the organic m...

Transport of liquids by pervaporation takes place by a solution-diffusion mechanism. In order to investigate the “solution part” of this transport model, preferential sorption has been compared with preferential permeability. Sorption equilibria and pervaporation experiments for the systems water-ethanol-cellulose acetate, water-ethanol-polyacrylonitrile and water-ethanol-polysulfone have been ...

24 25 Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to assess how the addition of oleate26 modified hydrotalcite (clay) and biochar (BC) to an agricultural soil affected the sorption, 27 leaching, persistence, and enantiomeric composition of soil residues of two chiral fungicides, 28 tebuconazole and metalaxyl. Laboratory experiments showed that the sorption of both 29 fungicides ranked as fo...

Understanding P sorption from animal manures is essential to formulate best management practices with regard to land application of manure from the standpoint of crop production and environmental quality. Little research has focused on the construction of P sorption isotherms where the P source is manure. The objectives of this study were to: (i) develop a procedure to characterize how inorgani...

The characteristics and mechanisms of Pb sorption by biochars produced from sugarcane bagasse at 250, 400, 500, and 600 °C were examined. The Pb sorption isotherms, kinetics and desorption were investigated. All biochars were effective in Pb sorption and were well described by Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum sorption capacity decreased from 21 to 6.1 m...

Mass transfer studies are carried out in a bubble column with an internal diameter of 14 cm and various static liquid heights. The mass transfer coefficient is evaluated by using an oxygen sorption method. A model considering the gas holdup flushing and the sensor response is used. The interfacial mass transfer area is determined according to the measured bubble size distribution. The liquid-si...

Nitroaromatic compounds are produced and used in large quantities worldwide and are frequently detected contaminants in the environment. Sorption is one of the fundamental processes controlling the transport and availability of nitroaromatics, but previous studies have focused mainly on sorption to model clay minerals, whereas little attention has been paid to the sorptive interactions with nat...

Recently sorption of organic pollutants, in particular polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has received much attention and researchers agree that organic matter (the amount of organic matter and its nature) is the most important factor affecting the sorption, desorption and fate of organic pollutants in soil and sediments. It is well documented that organic matter of soil and sediments is ...
