Influence of the coexisting contaminants on bisphenol A sorption and desorption in soil.
The effects of different heavy metals (Cd, Pb), surfactants (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), cetylpyridine chloride (CPC)) and the ionic strength (Ca2+, NH4+) on breakthrough curves (BTCs) for sorption and desorption of bisphenol A (BPA) were studied using soil column experiment. Results showed that the presence of heavy metals and cationic surfactants caused a significant increase on the BPA sorption. In addition, the volume required when effluent concentration reached half of the influent concentration (VC1/2) increased due to the introduction of heavy metals and surfactants. It was also found that the larger amount of BPA was absorbed with higher ionic strength. The cationic surfactants enhanced the desorption ability of BPA from the soil. The results provided a better understanding of BPA behavior in environment and facilitated more accurate assessment of its ecological risk and identification of appropriate management strategies.
