Sorption of nonylphenol (NP), a toxic endocrine disruptor, on marine sediments was studied through series of experiments. The sorption isotherms can be described by three models: linear model, Freundlich model and Langmuir model. The sorption amount of NP on the three sediment samples was in proportion to the organic carbon content of sediments. The adsorption ability of sediments with different grain sizes had positive correlation with organic carbon content. Moreover, the sorption of NP on marine sediments increased with the increase of salinity and the decline of temperature.
