Thermo and Kinetic Studies on the Sorption and Desorption of Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants in Sediments

This study investigated the correlation of desorption resistance of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) in sediment and the heterogeneity of sediment organic matter (SOM). The amorphous and condensed phase organic carbon contents were defined by the method of Gustafsson et al. (1997) using therm...
