Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- "The effects of sorption on the bioavailability of the test substance were investigated by determining the biodegradation of the test substance by an Arthrobacter sp. in aqueous suspensions of reference clay minerals and a synthetic cation exchange resin. Adsorption the test substance on kaolinite, illite, hectorite, montmorillonite, and Dowex was determined by the batch equilibrium method." (O'Loughlin et al., 2000)

Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
O'Loughlin et al., 2000 conclude that:
"In general, adsorption of 2-MP was positively correlated with the cation exchange capacity of the sorbent, suggesting that sorption of 2-MP on clay minerals occurs through a cation exchange reaction via the 2-methylpyridinium ion. The biodegradation of 2-MP was most rapid in the kaolinite suspensions, followed by no clay > illite >> Dowex > hectorite/montmorillonite. With the exception of kaolinite, adsorption of 2-MP on clay minerals and Dowex reduced the rate of biodegradation. The degree of attenuation was positively correlated with the fraction of 2-MP sorbed, suggesting that sorbed 2-MP was not directly available for degradation. Desorption was not rate limiting in suspensions containing hectorite, montmorillonite, or Dowex; however, desorption may have become limiting in the kaolinite and illite suspensions. The results of this study clearly indicate that adsorption can directly affect the degradation of 2-MP in complex mineral systems."
