Retention of Pollutants on and Within the Soil Solid Phase

  • Chapter
Soil Pollution

Abstract

Pollutants retained on and within the soil solid phase have reached the soil directly as solute, water-immiscible liquid, suspended particles, or in the gaseous phase. Pollutant retention is controlled by the physicochemical and physical properties of the soil solid phase by the properties of the pollutants themselves, and by environmental factors such as temperature and soil moisture content. Since, under natural conditions, we are dealing, in general, not with a single pollutant but with a mixture of pollutants and natural organic and inorganic compounds, the competition between the compounds for the soil adsorption sites will control their retention on or in the soil solid phase. For quantifying the retention of pollutants in the soil solid phase, an equilibrium should be determined; consequently, major attention should be given to the kinetics of the process.
