Abstract
The sorption behavior of benzothiophene on marine sediments treated by different procedures was studied. Linear sorption isotherns were found for sorption of benzothiophene by no treatment and NaOAC-HOAC treatment sediments. The sediment treated by NaOAC-HOAC exhibited obviously largeK p value for benzothiophene. The observedKoc value was basically consistent with the value predicted from the benzothiophene solubility in water. Nonlinear isotherms were observed for adsorption of benzothiophene on the sediments treated by H2O2 and could be described by the Freundlich equation.
