Results and discussion

Results: Batch equilibrium or other method

Adsorption and desorption constants:
Kd = 44 L/kg

Any other information on results incl. tables

An apparent sorption equilibrium was always attained within a few minutes. After this time no detectable concentration changes occurred; thus typical equilibration times between 30 - 60 minutes were used in all experiments. Desorption kinetics of NACs were also investigated, and it was also found that desorption equilibrium was reached within a few minutes. The results demonstrate that nitroaromatic compounds may adsorb specifically and reversible to the negatively charged siloxane surface of kaolinite. At high surface coverage the adsorption isotherms generally exhibit a saturation-type curvature approaching a maximum surface concentration of ca. 2.5 mmol of NAC/kg of kaolinite. At low surface coverage the isothermes were linear and a constant distribution coefficient Kd (L/kg), can be defined for this part of the isotherm. The Kd calculated for p-chloronitrobenzene is 44 L/kg.
