Interactions of triclosan, gemfibrozil and galaxolide with biosolid-amended soils: Effects of the level and nature of soil organic matter

Long-Term Uptake of Phenol-Water Vapor Follows Similar Sigmoid Kinetics on Prehydrated Organic Matter- and Clay-Rich Soil Sorbents

“…The bulk Pahokee peat and leonardite materials (85 and 87% w w −1 of OM, respectively) were obtained from the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS; some selected characteristics including ash, C, H, N contents of both materials and 13 C NMR spectra of Pahokee peat can be found there 49 ). The agricultural clay soil from Revadim was sampled and characterized earlier, 50 and contained 42% of clay, 21% of silt, 37% of sand, 0.6% of organic C, 0.06% of total N, and 13.4% of CaCO 3 . The HA-Na was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany).…”

Adsorption–desorption behavior of carbendazim by sewage sludge-derived biochar and its possible mechanism

“…Previous studies have shown that sorption of organic compounds in soils strongly depends on the organic carbon (OC) content of the soil. [42][43][44] Consequently, the K d values in conjunction with OC content of the soil treatments were usually used to calculate the normalized OC partition coefficient (K OC ). The K OC values for carbendazim showed an increase trend in soil amended with 2% of biochars produced at increased temperatures, ranging from 0.049 L g À1 in BC100-amended soil to 0.898 L g À1 in BC700-amended soil (Fig.…”
