Competitive adsorption of phenolic compounds on the Yellow River′s sediments
In this paper,the competitive adsorption behavior of o-nitrophenol,pentachlorophenol,2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol on the Yellow River sediments was studied.The results showed that competitive adsorption occured when two or more of the four phenolic compounds exist in the water-sediment system.The competitive adsorption capacity depends mainly on adsorbability and adsorption rate of each phenolic compound and phenolic compounds with high adsorbability and adsorption rate have greater competitive adsorption capacity.
