In sludge resulting from wastewater treatment, organic micropollutants sorb to particles and to dissolved/colloidal matter (DCM) Both interactions may influence their physical and biological fate throughout the wastewater treatment processes To our knowledge, sludge has never been considered as a three-compartment matrix, in which micropollutants; coexist in three states freely dissolved, sorbed-to-particles and sorbed-to-DCM A methodology is proposed to concomitantly determine equilibrium constants of sorption to particles (K-part) and to DCM (K-DCM) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were chosen as model compounds for the experiments The logarithm of estimated equilibrium constants ranged from 3.1 to 4 3 and their usual correlation to PAH hydrophobicity was verified. Moreover, PAH affinities for particles and for DCM could be compared Affinity for particles was found to be stronger, probably due to their physical and chemical characteristics This work provided a useful tool to assess the freely dissolved, sorbed-to-particles and sorbed-to-DCM concentrations of contaminants, which are necessary to accurately predict their fate Besides, guidelines to investigate the link between sorption and the fundamental concept of bioavailability were proposed.
