Adsorptions of Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) on three sediments in both reclaimed and ultrapure water were studied using the batch technique and the effects of reclaimed water on it were clarified. The data were interpreted by using Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkviech models. The values of 1/n were among 0.207 to 0.766, showing the presence of multiple adsorption sites on sediments. Compared with the ultrapure water as the background solution, the adsorption capacities of sediments for DMP were reduced in case of reclaimed water due to the competition of substances in reclaimed water. The mean adsorption energy, E, is smaller in the reclaimed water than that in ultrapure water.
