abstract = {The sorption of organic contaminants in soil is mainly
attributed to the soil organic matter (SOM) content.
However, recent studies have highlighted the fact that it is
not the total carbon content of the organic matter, but its
chemical structure which have a profound effect on the
sorption of organic contaminants. In the present study
sorption of two nitroaromatic contaminants viz.
trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) was
studied in different SOM fractions viz. a commercial humic
acid, commercial lignin and humic acid and humin extracted
from a compost. (13)C-DP/MAS NMR studies indicated that the
structural composition of the organic carbon in different
SOM fractions was different. The order of sorption of the
nitroaromatics in the different sorbents was: humic
acid-commercial>humic acid-compost>humin approximately
lignin. Among the aliphatic and aromatic carbon fractions
(representing bulk of SOM matrix), adsorption parameter
K(f)(1/n) for nitroaromatics sorption correlated well with
the aliphatic carbon (r=0.791 for TNT and 0.829 for 2,4-DNT)
than the aromatic carbon (r=0.634 for TNT and r=0.616 for
2,4-DNT). However, among carbon containing functional
groups, carbonyl carbon showed strong positive correlation
with sorption of TNT (r=0.991) and 2,4-DNT (r=0.967) while
O-alkyl carbon showed negative correlation (r=0.832 for TNT
and r=0.828 for 2,4-DNT). The study indicates that aliphatic
domains in the SOM significantly affect the non-specific
sorption of both the nitroaromatic contaminants.},
