Soil organic matter (SOM) is ubiquitous in the environment. Intensive efforts have been made to find effective ways to assess the interaction of SOM with contaminants since such interactions are one of the important criteria used to evaluate the migration, persistency and bioavailability of chemicals in the environment. This study aims to extend the application of coarse-grained (CG) dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) to the water/SOM system and predict contaminant mobility in the system. The CG model was based on the Vienna Soil-Organic-Matter Modeler, which can generate flexible condensed-phase models of SOM. A series of DPD simulations was performed to investigate the mobility of perfluorinated sulfonic acids (PFSAs) and hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD). The results indicated that the mobility of PFSAs decreased with increasing length in the carbon chain. In addition, HCBD and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) have similar diffusion coefficients, indicating analogous behavior in SOM. Moreover, water-containing SOM layers may reflect a more realistic situation. This work, coupling the CG method with DPD simulation, provides a new high-efficiency tool to assess the behavior of contaminants in the environment.
