| Abstract |
Sorption of toxic organic compounds on wastewater solids is an important process in conventional biological wastewater treatment systems. The extent of accumulation of toxic organic compounds by sorption onto wastewater solids not only affects the efficiency of the treatment system, but also impacts the management of wastewater solids. The study is an attempt to propose a mechanism for understanding the sorption phenomenon and to develop a model for sorption on wastewater solids based on the proposed mechanism. It was postulated that sorption was a combination of two processes: adsorption and partitioning. A sorption model was developed for both single component and multicomponent systems. The model was tested using single component experimental isotherm data of eight toxic organic compounds. |
