Multilayer sorption model for the interactions between crude oil and clay in Patagonian soils

Since characteristic Patagonian soils have low amounts of organic matter (usually less than 1%) and high clay contents, the relative contribution of minerals to sorption of hydrophobic organic solutes may become significant. The purpose of the present study was to examine the interactions between oi...
