Estimating adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on soils

1984

Dzombak, David A. | Luthy, Richard G.

This paper presents a synthesis of information available on the adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in water/soil systems. Included is an analysis of how limited adsorption data for PAH on soils may be used in conjunction with PAH molecular characteristics to predict adsorption properties for a wide range of PAH and soils. Also presented is an evaluation of procedures that enable prediction of adsorption characteristics of PAH on soils based on soil organic carbon content and physical-chemical or structural characteristics of the particular compound.
