Adsorption and desorption characteristics of endosulfan pesticide from three soils in

[dyadak]

Abstract

 

In this thesis adsorption and desorption features were studied in details in three samples from the soil of Palestine. Soil samples were red soil, chalk soil, and sandy soil according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) scale for the classification of the soil. Adsorption and desorption rates on soil samples were calculated from kinetic studies. The values varied based on the type of soil.

 

Maximum specific adsorption capacities (qmax) for soil samples using Langmuir model, were as follows: 0,387 (red soil), and 0,281

 

(chalk soil), and (0.075) sandy soil mg / g of endosulfan.

 

Maximum adsorption was measured in red soil followed by chalk soil, but it was the least for the sandy soil. Also, the proportion of organic matter play a major role in both processes adsorption and desorptio on soil samples.

 

_SetupBidi('source'); here was a significant reduction in the process of Adsorption in soil samples compared with the decline in pH. Desorption was higher at both acidic and alkaline pH ranges compared to neutral pH. Both the increase in temperature and concentration increase the adsorption and desorption in all soil samples.

 

Finally, the results showed that the mobility of endosulfan, is more possible in the sandy soil followed by red, followed by chalk soil This may be attributed to the crystal lattice of red soil that play an important role in both processes adsorption and desorption, as it could be a major role for chemical and biological processes that play a role in the other soil samples.

Welcome to Hypography, dyadak.

 

As this is a discussion forum, we discourage posts that simply link to a science paper.

 

Please describe what you find interesting in the quoted material. What questions does it raise? What further research has been done and how do the results compare? etc.

 

In other words, what do you want to discuss?

Abstract

 

Both the increase in temperature and concentration increase the adsorption and desorption in all soil samples.

 

How could an increase in concentration cause increases in both adsorption and desorption?

Adsorption seems to make sense, but desorption... with increased concentration?

p.s. ...unless it's increased concentration of some eluent.

Abstract

In this thesis adsorption and desorption features were studied in details in three samples from the soil ....

 

Also, the proportion of organic matter play a major role in both processes adsorption and desorptio on soil samples.

Regarding my previous clumsy question:

...or does the "sorption affinity" of the soil decrease... with increasing concentration of some pesticide/PAH...

...as happens with biochar.

Well I learned something new today! Seems to me that normal, black-carbon rich soils (and certainly soils amended with biochar) should show some unique non-linear sorption isotherms.

 

I've just started reading "Sorption properties of 'pure' biochars" (*) and now see there are lots of possibilities.

Compared to poorer soils and fresh plant material which show linear sorption properties, biochar can show a hysteresis between the adsorption and desorption isotherms... "especially at low ...concentrations" of aromatics.

Non-linear and hysteretic! What more could you want from soil?
