- Preparation of test soil:
The soils were air-dried ambient temperature (preferably between 20-25℃) after collection. The soils were sieved to a particle size ( ≤2 mm), and distributed uniformly. The moisture content of each soil was determined with heating at 105℃. For all calculations the mass of soil refers to oven dry mass.

Details on test conditions:

- Tier 1-Preliminary test:
Two soil types (#1 and #2) and three soil/solution ratios below were suggested to determine the optimal soil/solution.
50 g soil and 50 mL aqueous solution (0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution) of the test item (soil/solution ratio 1/1)
10 g soil and 50 mL aqueous solution (0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution) of the test item (soil/solution ratio 1/5)
2 g soil and 50 mL aqueous solution (0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution) of the test item (soil/solution ratio 1/25)
One control sample with only the test item in 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solutions (no soil) was subjected to precisely the same steps as the test systems, in order to check the stability of the test item in 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution and its possible adsorption on the surfaces of the test vessels.
A blank sample with the same amount of soil and total volume of 50 mL 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solutions (without test item) was subjected to the same test procedure. This served as a background control during the analysis to detect whether there are interference substances or soils are contaminated.
All the experiments, including controls and blanks, were performed in duplicate.

- Tier 2-Adsorption kinetics at one concentration of the test item:
The optimal soil/solution ratio for soil #1, #3 and #5 was 1/1 and for soil #2, #4 was 1/5. A treatment of one concentration (2500 mg/L) for each soil was done, and the determination was performed at each time point. In every experiment, a blank sample which consisted of the soil and 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution without test item, and a control sample with only the test item in 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution (without soil) were subjected to the same test procedure.

- Tier 3-Desorption kinetics at one concentration of the test item:
The soils, the soillsolution ratios, the concentration of the test solution (2500 mg/L) were selected the same as the adsorption kinetics study. The mixture of soil with solution was shaken until adsorption equilibrium was reached on the water bath shaker at 23±2 ℃ for 120 h. Then, the aqueous phases were separated by centrifugation and the aqueous phases were removed as much as possible. The volume of solution removed was replaced by an equal volume of 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution without test item. The mixture of soil with the new solution was mixed and shaken. Then concentration of the aqueous phase was analyzed after 2, 4, 6, 24, 30, 72, 96 and 120 h. In every experiment one blank was run. It consisted of the soil and 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution, without test item. A control sample with only the test item in 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 solution (without soil) was subjected to the same test procedure.

- Tier 4-Adsorption isotherms:
Five test item concentrations (750, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 mg/L) were used in five soils respectively for the adsorption isotherms test. This test was performed as describe above (Tier 2).

- Tier 5-Desorption isotherms:
Desorption isotherms test was performed as describe above five concentration were set separately (750, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 mg/L).

- Tier 6-Mass balance:
On the base of Tier 2, the test item concentrations in the soils #1, #2 were determined.
