Partitioning of [ 14C]PCB between water and particulates with various organic contents

The use of [ 14C]PCB was an effective technique for evaluating the partitioning of PCB between water and particulates. The sorption of [ 14C]PCB to clay and/or organic particulates and its subsequent degree of retention on the particles in clean medium was directly related to the particle organic co...

Zusammenfassung:The use of [ 14C]PCB was an effective technique for evaluating the partitioning of PCB between water and particulates. The sorption of [ 14C]PCB to clay and/or organic particulates and its subsequent degree of retention on the particles in clean medium was directly related to the particle organic content. Concentration factors (PCB on particles/PCB in water) ranged from 1.1 × 10 4 for 100% inorganic illite clay to 4.9 × 10 4 for 100% organic matter.
