Technical Report

OSTI ID:5815606
The overall study framework is designed to investigate the fate, transport and chemical transformations of normal, alkylated and heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons associated with spilled oil, operational discharges and produced water discharges in coastal marine and estuarine environmental systems. In the present research, the nature of the particle reactivity or sorption/desorption equilibria which control the fate, transport and chemical transformations of hydrocarbons has been investigated throgh studies of the sorption/desorption equilibria and kinetics of selected normal, alkylated and heterocyclic PAH on various sediment types (a range of organic carbon and particle sizes) over a range of salinities and studies of the relationship between the carbon fraction of sediments and the equilibrium K(suboc) (Partition coefficient) for selected normal, alkylated and heterocyclic PAH. New trace analytical techniques for aromatic hydrocarbons were developed and applied.
