Sentence examples for sediments sorption from inspiring English sources

Our results show that hydrophilic compounds sorb strongly to wet coastal sediments; in dried sediments, sorption of hydrophilic compounds decreases, while sorption of hydrophobic compounds is greatly enhanced.

Tracer tests indicated that DNAPL presence in the most DNAPL depleted sweepzone was potentially overestimated due to increased sediment sorption by residualized Sudan IV that was added to the DNAPL infiltrate.

The coupling of alternative methodologies is used such as water quality monitoring, micro-scale sediment sorption experiments, simulation of groundwater flow and phosphate and copper transport in the subsurface using the FEFLOW model and evaluation of the observed change in the chemical composition of water due to mixing using the geochemical model PHREEQC.

Because OC has a low sorption affinity for sediment, sorption would explain little degradation (Saccà et al. 2009).

Mineral surface area affects the distribution of PAHs in sediments, as sorption of PAHs occurs either on mineral surfaces directly or in organic matter coatings on mineral surfaces [56].

Using a subsurface sediment, (ad)sorption iodide Kd values were <0.3 mL/g (depending on iodide spike concentrations), whereas desorption Kd values using the same sediments were 1.41 4.15 mL/g.

This study investigates benthic sediment P sorption in relation to river soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations during high- to low-flow changes in a major mixed land use river system in NE Scotland.

Sequential multiple batch tests were conducted by adding prepared road dust leachate (artificial road runoff) or deionised water to soakaway sediment to obtain soakaway sediment leachate (artificial percolating water from soakaway sediment), which mimicked the sorption by sediments in soakaways receiving urban road runoff.

Lanthanum-modified bentonite clay (Phoslock®) is a lake remediation tool designed to strip dissolved phosphorus (P) from the water column and increase the sediment P-sorption capacity.

Batch experiments on aquifer sediments showed that sorption of uranin and lithium could be described by a Freundlich isotherm.

Beaulieu et al. (2008) showed that alkylmethylimidazolium-based ILs did not strongly adsorb to the tested aquatic sediments suggesting that sorption was not the main mechanism in the removal of this type of ionic liquids.
