Previous research shows that activated carbon produced from sewage sludge is very efficient in sorbing hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs), frequently detected in stormwater. The aim of this research was to determine whether the presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) has a negative effect on the adsorption of HOCs onto sludge-based activated carbon (SBAC) in batch adsorption tests. Batch adsorption tests were used to investigate the influence of two types of DOM \u2013 soil organic matter and humic acid (HA) technical standard \u2013 on the sorption of HOCs onto SBAC, and whether preloading adsorbent and adsorbates with DOM affects HOC sorption. The results indicate that soil DOM and HAs do not have a significant negative effect on the adsorption of HOCs under tested experimental conditions, except for a highly hydrophobic compound. In addition, preloading SBAC or HOCs with DOM did not lead to lower adsorption of HOCs. Batch adsorption tests appear to be inefficient for investigating DOM effects on HOC adsorption, as saturating the carbon is difficult because of high SBAC adsorption capacity and low HOC solubility, so that limited competition occurs on the sorbent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2166\/wst.2016.240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,7]],"date-time":"2016-06-07T03:03:35Z","timestamp":1465268615000},"page":"852-860","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2166\/iwapcrossmarkpolicypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sorption of DOM and hydrophobic organic compounds onto sewage-based activated carbon"],"prefix":"10.2166","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"Karin","family":"Bj\u00f6rklund","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, University of British Columbia, 6250 Applied Science Lane, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, Sven Hultins Gata 8, G\u00f6teborg 41296, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Loretta Y.","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, University of British Columbia, 6250 Applied Science Lane, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"945","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020032809194661300_WST-EM16112R1C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhazmat.2013.03.019","article-title":"The influence of soil composition on the leachability of selected hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) from soils using a batch leaching test","volume":"254\u2013255","author":"Badea","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
