Adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the sorption behaviors of naphthalene and phenanthrene in six di erent soils
and to determine the e ects of temperature, linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and cetylrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) on
sorption. The results show that for a given sorbent phenanthrene exhibited greater nonlinear and stronger sorption than naphthalene.
There was a strong negative correlation for the Koc values with organic carbon content ( foc). The increase of temperature was not
favorable to sorption. Sorption decreased along with the increasing aqueous LAS concentration from 0 to 1000 mg/L. At low CTAB
concentration (< 100 mg/L), the adsorption increased as CTAB hemimicelles formed on the soil surface. At high concentration, CTAB
decreased the adsorption by occupying active hydrophobic adsorption sites and solubilization of naphthalene and phenanthrene.
