Incorporating sorption/desorption of organic pollutants into river water quality model

Abstract： Preliminary research was conducted about how to incorporate sorption/desorption of organic pollutants with suspended solids and sediments into single-chemical and one-dimensional water quality model of Jinghang Canal.Sedimentation-resuspension coefficient k3 was deduced; characteristics of organic pollutants, concentrations and components of suspended solids/sediments and hydrological and hydraulic conditions were integrated into k3 and further into river water quality model; impact of sorption/desorption of organic pollutants with suspended solids and sediments on prediction function of the model was discussed. Results demonstrated that this impact is pronounced for organic pollutants with relatively large Koc and Kow, especially when they are also conservative and foc of river suspended solids/sediments is high, and that incorporation of sorption/ desorption of organic pollutants into river water quality model can improve its prediction accuracy. 作 者： LOU Bao-feng    ZHU Li-zhong    YANG Kun   作者單位： Department of Environmental Science, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310028, China  期 刊： 環(huán)境科學(xué)學(xué)報(英文版)  ISTICSCI   Journal： JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES  年，卷(期)： 2004, 16(4)  分類號： X52  Keywords： water quality model    sorption/desorption    sedimentation-resuspension coefficient
