Exploring the Potential of TNT and Aniline Coexistence to Enhance Their Transports in Saturated Chinese Loess
Source abstract
Abstract
To determine the interactions between TNT and aniline adsorptions and the potential to enhance their transports in saturated Chinese loess, batch and column tests were conducted. The batch tests show that their adsorptions inhibit each other when they coexist, and their inhibitions depend on their concentrations, implying that their coexistence has the potential to enhance their transports of each other in the saturated loess. The column tests confirm this speculation, while aniline enhances TNT transport more obviously than TNT does. These findings are ascribed to TNT adsorption being primarily through surface adsorption, while aniline adsorption mainly takes place via electrostatic adsorption and inner pore diffusion adsorption, as well as surface adsorption. There is a certain competitive relationship in their adsorptions on the loess because they have same and different adsorption sites; in particular, electrostatic force is greater than surface force. Therefore, these inhibitions on adsorption are conducive to the existences of TNT and aniline in the water rather than being fixed on the loess, thus enhancing their transports in the saturated loess, indicating that their coexistence can increase the risk of soil and even groundwater pollution.
