Abstract:As a gasoline additive, ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) has great market potential and its utilization might cause groundwater contamination problem. However, little research has been done on its sorption in soil. In this study, the sorption characteristics of ETBE to Chinese reference soils were studied in batch experiments. The results showed that the ETBE sorption to six soils can be described by linear sorption isotherm. The temperature influences the sorption process of ETBE to soils. The negative sorption … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
