This article is a review of the current state of knowledge regarding the formation and
biological/environmental significance of bound pesticide residues in soils. We begin by …

Sorption controls the physical and biological availability of chemicals in soil. Most organic
molecules undergo primarily weak physisorption interactions and the driving force for …

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

Adsorption and desorption are important processes that affect atrazine transport,
transformation, and bioavailability in soils. In this study, the adsorption–desorption …

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 …

Humic acid-coated Fe 3 O 4 (HA-Fe 3 O 4) nanoparticles as magnetic adsorbents were
prepared with co-precipitation of humic acids and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. TEM analysis …

This study investigated adsorption of fulvic acid (FA) by single-walled (SWCNT) and multi-
walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and activated carbon. Adsorption of FA depends greatly …

Equilibrium sorption coefficients (K d) of a series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
and chlorobenzenes were measured on the pure mineral oxides α-Al2O3 and α-Fe2O3 …

Sorption and desorption equilibria were measured for an organic contaminant probe,
phenanthrene, and five EPA reference soils and sediments to evaluate the existence and …

Sorption isotherms for a hydrophobic solute probe, phenanthrene, were measured
experimentally for 27 different soils and sediments. The linear and Freundlich isotherm …
