Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is ubiquitous in surface waters, playing a major role in the global carbon cycle. Similarly, carbonaceous materials (CMs) are released in large quantities amounting to Tg per year into environmental systems, where they can play a considerable role as sorbents of DOM. Their interactions can affect the fate of both DOM and CMs. Researchers from EDGE and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem investigated preferentially sorbing DOM fractions in dependence of their aromaticity and molecular weight as well as the CM surface properties. The results were published in Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts.
