Abstract

Different types of soil constituents were evaluated in terms of their efficiency for binding and possibly degrading halocarbons, e.g., CCl4, CCl3F, and CCl2F, at the liquid-solid or gas-solid interface. Halocarbon could bind in appreciable amounts to the internal volumes of zeolites, e.g., SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3, and silica gels. Although these types of materials were present in small amounts in many geographical regions, their presence might considerably alter the adsorption of small halocarbons. The amount of these nonspecific microporous sinks and the internal volume of soil samples should be accounted for when using small molecules trace groundwater. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 222nd ACS National Meting (Chicago, IL 8/26-30/2001).
