摘要
The partitioning behavior of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in five sediments was studied using equilibrium sorption experiments and multiple cycles of sorption and desorption experiments. The results of the equilibrium sorption experiments showed that the isotherms of PCP on five sediments were linear and the partitioning coefficients (K-d) were proportional to the organic carbon content of the sediments. The average organic carbon content normalized partitioning coefficient (logK(oc)) of five sediments was 2.83 +/- 1.48. In multiple cycles of sorption and desorption experiments, the five sediments were found to exhibit statistically significant sorption-desorption hysteresis, and the hysteresis indices (HI) varied over a wide range (0.72 - 11.82). Correlations between the HI value and the percentage of lipid in the total organic matter in the sediment indicated that lipid was the main fraction to affect the hysteresis phenomenon, i.e., the higher the lipid percentage the greater the HI value. The hysteresis phenomenon was mostly caused by irreversible sorption of PCP on lipids, including entrapment by lipids, which induced the slow desorption rate from the sediment. Because of hysteresis in the sorption and desorption, the PCP ecological toxicity would be lower than expected. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
