The dual-mode (partition/hole-filling) model of soil organic matter (SOM) as a heterogeneous polymerlike sorbent of hydrophobic compounds predicts that a competing solute will accelerate diffusion of the primary solute by blocking the holes, allowing the principal solute to move faster through the SOM matrix. We tested this hypothesis with phenanthrene as the primary solute and pyrene as the competing solute in two sterile soils of widely different organic carbon content (1.4 and 43.9%). Two…

Investigation of competitive sorption and desorption of phenanthrene, anthracene, and pyrene added to an estuarine sediment from Guilford on Long Island Sound found the competitive effect slightly accelerates sorption, but it was not possible to decide how much was due to favorable thermodynamic versus favorable kinetic effects.

The varied sorption and desorption behaviors for DCB and Phen are satisfactorily explained by an adsorption/ hole filling mechanism and entrapment of some adsorbates in the kerogen matrix and by possible pore deformation mechanism at high concentrations.

Aliphatic-rich humin exhibited the largest degree of nonlinearity and had the highest sorption capacity for naphthalene and a novel aliphatic, amorphous condensed conformation is proposed that can explain many sorption disparities discussed in the literature.

The findings of this study are consistent with heterogeneous models of soil organic matter, and indicate that concentration effects should be taken into account whenever desorption rate is important.
