Effects of dissolved organic matter from sewage sludge on sorption of tetrabromobisphenol A by soils

Zhaohai, Sun, Li, Mao, Qiming, Xian, Yijun, Yu, Hui Hui, Hongxia

Abstract

Sorption of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) by soil influences its fate and transport in the environment. The presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) may complicate the sorption process in soil. The effects of DOM from sewage sludge on TBBPA sorption by three soils were investigated using batch equilibration experiments in the study. DOM was observed to be sorbed on the soils and the isotherms could be fitted by the Langmuir model. The effects of DOM on TBBPA sorption were dependent on the characteristics ...
