Sorption of hydrophobic pollutants on natural sediments
TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the sorption of hydrophobic compounds (aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated polycyclic aromatic compounds) spanning a concentration range in water solubility from 500 parts per trillion (ppt) to 1800 parts per million (ppm) on local pond and river sediments.About:

Sorption isotherms: A review on physical bases, modeling and measurement
G. Limousin,Jean-Paul Gaudet,Laurent Charlet,Stéphanie Szenknect,Véronique Barthès,Mohamed Krimissa +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the physical bases underlying the definition of a sorption isotherm, different empirical or mechanistic models, and details several experimental methods to acquire a sink.

Plastic Resin Pellets as a Transport Medium for Toxic Chemicals in the Marine Environment
Yukie Mato,Tomohiko Isobe,Hideshige Takada,Haruyuki Kanehiro,Chiyoko Ohtake,Tsuguchika Kaminuma +5 more
TL;DR: Field adsorption experiments using PP virgin pellets demonstrated significant and steady increase in PCBs and DDE concentrations throughout the six-day experiment, indicating that the source of PCBs, DDE, and nonylphenols is ambient seawater and that adsor adaptation to pellet surfaces is the mechanism of enrichment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semi-empirical estimation of sorption of hydrophobic pollutants on natural sediments and soils
TL;DR: In this article, a method for estimating the equilibrium sorption behavior of hydrophobic pollutants was developed for estimating KOC from water solubility (including crystal energy) and octanol/water partition coefficients.

TL;DR: The chemical interactions of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) with soils and sediments (geosorbents) may result in strong binding and slow subsequent release rates that significantly affect remediation rates and endpoints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compositions and sorptive properties of crop residue-derived chars.
TL;DR: Chars originating from the burning or pyrolysis of vegetation may significantly sorb neutral organic contaminants (NOCs) and appear to have a higher surface affinity for a polar solute (nitrobenzene) than for a nonpolar Solute (benzenes), the difference being related to the surface acidity/basicity of the char samples.

Partition coefficient and bioaccumulation of selected organic chemicals
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical equation is established to relate the experimental n-octanol/water partition coefficients to the aqueous solubilities of a wide variety of chemicals including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic acids, organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls.

Aqueous solubility of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
Donald Mackay,Wan Ying Shiu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the solubilities of 32 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and indan have been measured in water at 25/sup 0/C. The results compare satisfactorily with the available literature values for ten of the compounds.
