Book Sorption and Desorption of Volatile Chlorinated Aliphatic Compounds by Soils and Soil Components

Download or read book Sorption and Desorption of Volatile Chlorinated Aliphatic Compounds by Soils and Soil Components written by Robert G. La Poe and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many groundwater supplies in the industrialized nations of the world are contaminated with low concentrations of certain volatile, chlorinated, aliphatic compounds, such as trichloroethylene (C2HCl3), tetrachloroethylene (C2Cl4), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), and chloroform (CHCl3). One aspect of this problem, about which very little is known, is that of the (potential) sorption of these chemicals (in dilute aqueous systems) by the soils comprising the groundwater aquifers, and by soils and soil components in general. This research was performed to expand our very limited knowledge in this area, and utilized 14C-labeled sorbates in conjunction with liquid scintillation counting. This investigation has shown that the above compounds are negligibly adsorbed by the inorganic solids (clays and minerals) which would typically comprise subsurface soils, with some evidence suggesting that they are slightly negatively adsorbed by these solids. Sorption (and some desorption) isotherms were determined for each sorbate with each of the following sorbents: a mineral soil, a peat soil, a muck soil, activated carbon, graphite, humic acid, and lignin, The sorption equilibrium distribution coefficients (K subscript d) in the linear, low concentration regions of these isotherms were determined for each sorbent-sorbate system.

Book Bioavailability of Contaminants in Soils and Sediments

Download or read book Bioavailability of Contaminants in Soils and Sediments written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-05-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioavailability refers to the extent to which humans and ecological receptors are exposed to contaminants in soil or sediment. The concept of bioavailability has recently piqued the interest of the hazardous waste industry as an important consideration in deciding how much waste to clean up. The rationale is that if contaminants in soil and sediment are not bioavailable, then more contaminant mass can be left in place without creating additional risk. A new NRC report notes that the potential for the consideration of bioavailability to influence decision-making is greatest where certain chemical, environmental, and regulatory factors align. The current use of bioavailability in risk assessment and hazardous waste cleanup regulations is demystified, and acceptable tools and models for bioavailability assessment are discussed and ranked according to seven criteria. Finally, the intimate link between bioavailability and bioremediation is explored. The report concludes with suggestions for moving bioavailability forward in the regulatory arena for both soil and sediment cleanup.
