The sorption behavior of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), an anionic surfactant, on marine sediments was systematically investigated. The experimental results showed that 100 min was required for the adsorption equilibrium. For the sediments treated by HCl and H₂O, sorption behavior of SDBS was fit with linear isotherm very well over the concentration range studied at 298 K. The sorption occurred primarily due to partition function of hydrophobic chains into organic carbon of sediments. Sorption of SDBS on H₂O₂-treated sediments was satisfactorily fit with Freundlich isotherm model and mainly through surface function of clay minerals in the sediment. The sorption was favorably influenced by the increased salinity, deceased pH and decreased temperature of seawater.
