Summary

Aqueous solubilities of three chlorobenzenes in sediment-water systems are significantly enhanced by the presence of third phase material originating from the sediment. Because the aqueous concentrations of the chlorobenzenes are influenced by this third phase material, their sorption coefficients will also be influenced. Besides the experimental conditions, the characteristics of the sediment determine the third phase concentration. Pretreatment of the sediment, such as drying in an oven can change these characteristics significantly.
