In this study, the sorption behavior of six widely used phthalate esters (PEs) on marine sediments was investigated. The adsorption of PEs was fast and reached the equilibrium within 6 h. The forward and backward rate constants of all PEs on sediments were calculated. Several kinds of kinetic and thermodynamic models have been investigated; the pseudo-second-order model and the partition isotherm model were best fitted to the adsorption behavior of PEs. The rate-limiting step of sorption was controlled by the film diffusion mechanism. After treating sediments with H2O2, the partition coefficients of all PEs were significantly reduced and indicated that the amorphous organic carbon has a major role in adsorption process. The negative values of ΔH° and ΔG° for these compounds showed that the sorption process is exothermic and spontaneous. The adsorption capacities of all PEs were slightly influenced by increasing the salinity from 0 to 40 g L−1. These research findings have a prime importance on assessment of the fate and transport of PEs in seawater-sediment systems.
