Abstract
Dioxins are very toxic contaminants and warrant study under a variety of experimental conditions. Studies were performed to evaluate the mobility of several of the dioxins in both soil columns as well as in batch experiments. The studies showed that the amount of chlorination did not necessarily control the partitioning of the dioxins, as expected, but also suggested that the structure or location where the Cl ion was attached to the benzene ring modified the hydrophobicity of the compound. Studies were performed with a variety of cosolvents which might mediate the movement of the dioxin. The observed modification in mobility was consistent with existing theory for enhanced mobility with truly miscible solvents. Experimental data appears to show reversibility in the sorption process, but significantly limited by kinetics with 30 to 50 days required to release 50-90% of the contaminant.
