Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Mixture of spiked activated sludge sediment and river water was stirred and the subsequent adsorption of radioactive substance to the suspended matter counted by LSC.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: Radiolabelled C14 count via LSC
Media:
soil/sewage sludge

Study design

Test temperature:
Not specified

Batch equilibrium or other method

Analytical monitoring:
not required
Computational methods:
Mathematical fitting of sorption data:
log K = xC + b (where K is the sorption coefficient in L/kg, C is the carbon number of the alkyl side chain; x and b are fitted by the regression routine that minimises the least-squares residual (R2).

Any other information on results incl. tables

The results demonstrate that sorption can be effectively modeled using a log Kd vs. Cx and EOy predictive equation having the form log Kd = 0.331C - 0.00897EO - 1.126 (R2 = 0.64).
