The sorption behavior of complex pollution system composed of aldicarb and surfactant--SDBS.

The behavior of complex pollution system in soil composed of aldicarb, a carbamate pesticide, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), an anionic surfactant, was studied by the experiment of shaking sorption balance. The range of concentration of aldicarb and SDBS was 0.4–5.0 and 1–1000mg/kg of dried soil, respectively. Linear sorption isotherm was well fitted for these two chemicals. SDBS can decrease the sorption of aldicarb in soil remarkably. While the concentration of SDBS increased from 0 to 1000mg/kg, the linear sorption coefficient can be decreased by 50%. But aldicarb showed no effect on the sorption of SDBS in experiment. In addition the mechanism of the effect of SDBS on sorption of aldicarb was discussed.
