Transport of nonpolar organic compounds from surface water to groundwater. Laboratory sorption studies
Abstract
Laboratory batch and column experiments have been conducted to elucidate the sorption behavior of nonpolar organic compounds (e.g., halogenated alkenes and benzenes) in a river water-groundwater infiltration system. For the low concentrations typical of the environment, sorption equilibria can be described by the equation S = KpC, where S = concentration in the solid phase, Kp = partition coefficient, and C = concentration in the liquid phase. For a variety of sorbents, it was found that the partition coefficient KpZ of a particular compound Z can be estimated from its 1-octanol/water partition coefficient KOWZ and from the organic-carbon (OC) content fOC (fraction organic carbon) of the sorbents if fOC is greater than 0.001: log KpZ = 0.72 log KOWZ + log fOC(s) + 0.49. Sorption was found to be reversible, but sorption kinetics may have an effect on material transport over the range of flow velocities encountered in aquifers. The conclusions of this study are applicable to a wide range of sorption and transport problems including artificial groundwater recharge and leaching of pollutants from landfills.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
