摘要：

Linear free energy relationships (LFERs) were applied to investigate the sorptive characteristics of organic contaminants (OCs) on organoclays from water. Three cetyltrimethylammonium modified montmorillonites (C-Mts) were selected as representative organoclays. The sorption coefficients (logKoc) of OCs on the C-Mts were calculated according to the results of batch sorption experiments. Then the LFER equations for OC sorption on C-Mts from water were developed. The results of this study showed that compared with bulk water, water saturated C-Mts are more polarizable, less polar and cohesive, and have stronger H-bond acceptor capacities and weaker H-bond donor capacities. The primary driving forces for the sorption of OCs from water to C-Mts can be ascribed to the weaker cohesive characteristics of C-Mts as well as the stronger nonspecific Van der Waals interaction between OCs and C-Mts. With increasing CTMA loading amount, the interaction between OCs and C-Mts increases whereas the C-Mts become more cohesive. Consequently, the sorption capacity of C-Mts first increases with CTMA loading amount and then decreases with further increased loading amount.
