Adsorption and degradation processes of triclosan (TCS) were studied in the laboratory using field-collected sediments of different physicochemical properties. Batch equilibrium experiment indicated that adsorption isotherms were fitted well to both linear and Freundlich model with linear sorption coefficients (K d) varied from 147 to 1,425 mL μg⁻¹. The sediment with a higher organic carbon content and a lower pH value had the greatest adsorption capability. Degradation experiment showed that triclosan was relatively stable in water with calculated half-life values ranged from 89 to 161 days. No degradation in sterilized water suggested that the loss of triclosan was due to biological processes. Degradation was more rapid in water-sediment system than in water, and the calculated half-life value in water-sediment systems ranged from 32 to 62 days. Methylation of triclosan was observed in all studied sediments, but the amount of methyl-triclosan (M-TCS) accounted for less than 5 % of the degradated TCS.
