Considering that sorption velocity markedly determines the systems promptness to phosphorus external loading, the kinetics of the sorption of PO4-P onto estuarine sediments and the upstream agricultural soils was studied. The pseudo-second order kinetic equation gave an appropriate description of PO4-P sorption onto these soils and sediments, allowing for a quantitative comparison. For soils, the kinetic constants (k 2, lg 1 g h 1) ranged between 0.007 and 0.017 lg 1 g h 1 while, in the case of sediments these ranged between 0.008 and 0.012 lg 1 g h 1. Results showed that the reduction of water residence time after the management action was relevant for the system status, affecting its reaction capacity to phosphorus loading. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/25574 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2013.08.039 | Rights: | openAccess |
