SPP 1315: Influence of microbial activity on the structure-chemistry and chemodynamics of nonextractable residues of xenobiotics in soil derived organo-clay complexes
Project
Project code: DFG SPP 1315
Contract period: 01.01.2007
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Basic research
Organo-clay complexes in soil play a major role in the immobilisation and the persistence of xenobiotics and their metabolites. The project will contribute to understand the interactions in such complexes with a special attention to the spatial and structural arrangement of humic substances within organo-clay complexes which we expect to govern the sorption and binding of xenobiotics and their reactive metabolites. We will study the biogeochemical and chemodynamical behaviour of MCPA, NP and their metabolites during the formation, release and degradation of residues covalently bound to natural and model humics-coated clay.
