Benzidine sorption and desorption were studied in eight solvents. Aqueous solvents showed higher sorption affinities than organic solvents, with desorption efficiencies inversely related to sorption.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Soil Science
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Benzidine is a known carcinogen requiring thorough understanding of its environmental fate.
  • Sorption and desorption processes significantly influence the mobility and bioavailability of contaminants in sediments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the sorption and desorption behavior of benzidine across various solvent-sediment systems.
  • To elucidate the dominant mechanisms governing benzidine desorption.
  • To model benzidine desorption kinetics and correlate it with sorption capacities.

Main Methods:

  • Batch experiments were conducted to assess benzidine sorption and desorption in eight different solvents.
  • Sorption isotherm experiments were performed with varying contact times (7 days, 3 weeks, 2 months).

  • A three-stage model was applied to simulate desorption data, and Langmuir isotherm model was used to determine maximum sorption capacities.

    • Main Results:

    • Nonlinear benzidine sorption was observed in all tested solvents, with higher affinities in aqueous solvents compared to organic ones.
    • Desorption efficiencies decreased with decreasing sorption affinity, indicating a reverse relationship.
    • Hydrophobic partitioning and covalent binding were identified as dominant desorption mechanisms, while cation exchange had minimal impact.

    Conclusions:

    • Benzidine sorption is solvent-dependent, influenced by interactions with sediment sites.
    • Desorption kinetics can be modeled, and the rapidly desorbing fractions vary across solvents.
    • Maximum sorption capacities correlate with the amounts of benzidine in slowly and very slowly desorbing pools, suggesting strong binding in these fractions.
