Abstract
The relative resistance of chlorophenols to degradation creates pollution problems when these compounds enter the environment (McGinnis et al. 1989). Due to their hydrophobic characteristics, chlorophenols are expected to be adsorbed from water solutions in both surface and ground water systems. Sorption of pentachlorophenol from aqueous solutions has been widely studied (Schellenbery et al. 1984; Johnson et al. 1985; Patterson and Liebscher 1987 and others). Lee et al. (1990) showed that for a pH less than 7, PCP sorption increases with an increase in the fractions of the PCP neutral species while for a pH greater than 7, it appears that anionic PCP is sorbed as a neutral ion pair. Regardless of the pH-dependent mechanisms, sorption increased with increasing soil organic matter.
