Technical Bulletin No. 0689: Mass Transfer of TCDD/F from Suspend Sediment Particles

Experimentally determined mass transfer rates for the non-polar hydrophobic compounds known as tetrachlorinated dibenzo dioxin/furans (TCDD/F) were obtained by exposing contaminated sediment materials of two known size classes to a high grade distilled water in a completely mixed state for periods of up to 90 days. Water samples were removed at four time intervals, filtered through 1.2 µm and 0.
