Hydrocarbon Fuel Chemistry: Sediment Water Interaction

Abstract

The objective of this program was to determine the effect of sediments on aqueous solutions of selected Air Force hydrocarbon fuels. Effects of sediment type, organic carbon content, pH, temperature and salinity on interaction of dissolved hydrocarbons with sediment were studied. The results of this work can be used to estimate the role of sediment-hydrocarbon interaction terms in fate models of aqueous systems.
