In Chapter 4, data are presented which demonstrate that desorption of inorganics from clay mineral surfaces exhibits hysteresis. Similarly, in the case of desorption of organics, hysteresis appears to play a major role. For example, the data in Figure 8.20 show that the adsorption isotherm of 2.4.5-T is not similar to its adsorption isotherm and this difference increases as the soil sample incubation period increases. The data in Figure 8.21 also show that the kinetics of atrazine adsorption differs greatly from that of atrazine desorption. There are many potential causes for this difference, including particle diffusion effects and chemical thermodynamic effects.
