Sorption of ionisable organic compounds by field soils. 1. Acids
1991
Nicholls, P.H. | Evans, A.A.
Sorption of different classes of weak organic acids was measured using soils with a range of pH values, taken from long-term field experiments that had received different amounts of lime. Non-ionisable compounds were used to demonstrate that the soils of different pH used in the experiments have similar sorptive properties. Values of the sorption coefficients for chloride ion were negative at all pHs except one. Sorption of moderately polar, monobasic, weak acids was weak in acidic soils and very weak in neutral and alkaline soils where they were predominantly dissociated. A lipophilic weak acid was strongly sorbed even at high pH. A model is presented which estimates soil/water distribution coefficients, at any soil pH, from lipophilicity and pKa of the acid and organic matter content of the soil. The model was derived using sorption measured for substituted phenoxyacetic acids. Sorption values calculated using the model were compared with values measured for chlorsulfuron and showed useful agreement. Dibasic acids were strongly sorbed, probably by the mechanism of ligand exchange, if they were chelating agents with potential to form 5- or 6-membered rings with an acceptor atom. Phenylphosphonic acid was strongly sorbed, being a strong monodentate ligand.
