Experiments were performed to investigate the sorption behaviors of dimethyl phthalate on marine sediments. The sorption of dimethyl phthalate on marine sediments reached equilibrium within 10 h. The sorption behavior of dimethyl phthalate on HCl-treated and untreated sediments accorded well with the linear sorption isotherm. The sorption occurred primarily via partition function of organic carbon of marine sediments. The sorption behavior of dimethyl phthalate on H2O2-treated sediment was nonlinear and conformed to Freundlich isotherm. Sorption of dimethyl phthalate on H2O2-treated sediment was chiefly through surface function of clay in marine sediments. Salinity of seawater had an important effect on the sorption of dimethyl phthalate. As the salinity of seawater increased, both the partitioning coefficients K-d and empirical constant K would increase.
