Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of organic matter from soils and sediments from various origins on the sorption of some chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons: implications on KOC correlations.
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical correlation between the hydrogen/oxygen (H/O) atomic ratio as an index of the oxidation of the organic matter and the organic carbon normalized sorption coefficients (K{sub OC} was provided.
Book
Diffusion in Natural Porous Media: Contaminant Transport, Sorption/Desorption and Dissolution Kinetics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model of the diffusion process of organic compounds in Soils and Sediments and demonstrate the long-term Sorption/desorption kinetics of Phenanthrene.
Journal ArticleDOI
New modeling paradigms for the sorption of hydrophobic organic chemicals to heterogeneous carbonaceous matter in soils, sediments, and rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a model to simulate HOC sorption as the combined effect of adsorption to thermally altered carbonaceous materials and a more linear solvation-driven absorption into gel-like organic matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracer diffusion coefficients in sedimentary rocks: correlation to porosity and hydraulic conductivity.
Thomas B. Boving,Peter Grathwohl +1 more
TL;DR: The results of the diffusion experiments indicate that there is a close relationship between total porosity and the effective diffusion coefficient of a rock (analogous to Archie's Law), and the tortousity factor can be expressed as a function oftotal porosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solubility-Normalized Combined Adsorption-Partitioning Sorption Isotherms for Organic Pollutants
TL;DR: An inverse linear relationship between the distribution coefficient (Kd) and water solubility, which was very well confirmed by the data, is obtained and leads to unit-equivalent Freundlich sorption isotherms and explains the often observed apparent correlation between sorption capacity at a given concentration and sorption nonlinearity.
