Evidence is accumulating that sorption of organic chemicals to soils and sediments can be
described by “dual-mode sorption”: absorption in amorphous organic matter (AOM) and …

The soil sorption coefficient Kd and the soil organic carbon sorption coefficient KOC of
pesticides are basic parameters used by environmental scientists and regulatory agencies …

The use of equilibrium expressions for sorption to natural particles in fate and transport
models is often invalid due to slow kinetics. This paper reviews recent research into the …

The chemical interactions of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) with soils and
sediments (geosorbents) may result in strong binding and slow subsequent release rates …

The widely accepted dissolution (partition) model of sorption to soil organic matter (SOM)
has been challenged by evidence that SOM has a non-uniform sorption potential. This study …

This review highlights the major progress over the last decade on characterization of
geochemically heterogeneous soil/sediment organic matter (SOM) and the impacts of SOM …

Given the presence of a wide variety of contaminants in the environment, it is important to
understand what drives a contaminant from one medium to another, as well as the manner …

This is part of a larger study that addresses the question of whether site-specific sorption of
organic compounds takes place in soil organic matter (SOM). Competitive sorption is one …

The use of recycled plastic in asphalt is raising interest since contributing to increase the
sustainability of roads pavements. The engineering performance of such roads are …

Phenanthrene sorption and desorption equilibria were measured for 10 natural sorbents
having significantly different geological ages and organic matter compositions. Three …
