Summary: | The partitioning of tributyltin between water and various particulate materials (SS: suspended solids) in river or marine waters was studied under laboratory conditions. The experimental design involved six independent factors (time, temperature, nature and concentration of sediment type, particulate matter, salinity and initial TBT concentration in water). Maximum adsorption capacity and adsorption rate were determined. Langmuir's isotherms and Arrhenius' law were used to evaluate activation energies in the order of 10 Kcal mol

suggesting that TBT adsorption is a physical phenomena (physisorption) with a low binding energy. |
