The retention (or release) of a liquid compound on a solid controls the mobility of many
substances in the environment and has been quantified in terms of the “sorption isotherm” …

Sorption coefficients are used to describe the equilibrium distribution of a chemical between
a soil or sediment and the aqueous phase that it is in contact with. Although sorption …

In 1978, Dr. David Rosenblatt of the US Army* and I had the idea to create a compilation of
estimation methods for environmentally important properties of organic chemicals. This was …

The objective of this study is to compare the consistency between column and batch
experiment methods for measuring solid-phase sorption coefficients and isotherms for per …

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSARs) are increasingly used to predict the
harmful effects of chemicals to humans and the environment. The increased use of these …

The competitive effect influenced the transport behavior of Cu and Cd contrastingly in soils,
as illustrated by the experimental findings obtained from column, batch kinetics, and …

It is expected that solute dispersivity is determined by the physical properties of the transport
medium. However, experimental investigations to date have not identified such a …

Both batch and column methods are conventionally utilized to determine some critical
parameters for assessing the transport of contaminants of concern. The validity of using …

Permeable adsorptive barriers (PABs) consisting of individual (compost, zeolite, and brown
coal) and composite (brown coal-compost and zeolite-compost) adsorbents were evaluated …

The sorption of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on surfaces of soil particles strongly
depends on surface charge (SC). As anions and cations in soil solution affect SC, the …
