Abstract
This study provided sorption properties of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and elucidated potential application of CFC sorption data in hydrogeochemistry. Prior sorption studies were reviewed for hydrophobic organic compounds similar to the CFCs, because there were only few CFC sorption studies. The CFCs are regarded as relatively conservative chemicals in groundwater environments based on their moderate hydrophobicity. However, thermally altered carbonaceous matter (TACM) can significantly increase sorption capacity and nonlinearity for hydrophobic organic compounds such as CFCs, compared to general soil organic matter. CFC sorption behavior are close to the sorption for reviewed organic chemicals. Therefore, the CFC sorption data can be used for determining hydrogeochemical properties and predicting transport of organic contaminants in TACM-containing aquifer environments.
