%X As metabolites of organic surfactants, both nonylphenol (NP) and perfluorooctanoic
%X acid (PFOA) are toxic and ubiquitous in the environment. Their sorption on soils and
%X sediments is of importance for their fate and transport in the environment. Especially in
%X China, there is still a lack of consolidated knowledge on the sorption behavior of NP
%X and PFOA on geosorbents such as Yangtze River sediments. Thus, the present thesis
%X investigates the sorption of a branched NP isomer [4-(1-ethyl-1, 3-dimethylpentyl)
%X phenol] (NP111) and PFOA on Yangtze River sediments and their model components,
%X i.e. a clay mineral (illite), metal oxides (goethite and -Al2O3) and organic matter
%X (isolated from Yangtze River sediments and commercial organic matter) by both
%X batch and dialysis techniques. NP111 is the most environmentally relevant NP isomer
%X and its fate in the environment is unknown. Because PFOA is weakly adsorbed on
%X geosorbents, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were studied as promising
%X adsorbents. One of the MWCNTs studied contained traces of metal catalyst on the outer
%X surface.
