Abstract
Micro-organic compounds are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, occurring both in solution and in association with particles and colloids. Many of the compounds are of anthropogenic origin and are classed as pollutants although not toxic at the concentrations that are commonly encountered. Their transport and persistence in the environment are complex topics needing detailed information about the compound’s specific chemical structure, biochemistry and properties, as well as the solution composition. In general, the fate of the compounds is determined by a combination of parameters including vapour pressure, volatility, aqueous solubility, chemical/biochemical degradation and interaction with solid surfaces. It has been known for some time that organic compounds can interact with clay minerals, and be involved in both ion-exchange reactions and also penetration of the interlayer space of expandable clays (Rausell-Colom and Serretosa 1978).
