Since most of the studies that involve polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) adsorption in soils are make in regions of temperate or cold climate. In tropical countries, the characteristics of the pedological processes and the resultant soils are quite different there is the necessity of working on new studies in the Brazilian soils. In this dissertation, the pyrene adsorption in seven differents Brazilian soils was studied: Clays soils, Yellow Latosoil, Red Anionic Latosoil, Red Yellow Latosoil, Neosoil Quartzarenic, Organic soil and Vertisoil. Two groups of adsorption tests were carried out, in the first one we used samples of 2.5g of soil and in the second one the soil mass was increased to 5.0g. To all soils, it was possible to observe that, when the initial mass of soil was changed, different times of reaction were needed so that the sorption process could reach the thermodynamic equilibrium. And yet because of this bigger competition, the profile of the Red Anionic Latosoil and Vertisoil curves, obtained by the usage of different pyrene/soil relations, presented meaningful differences when compared. The presence of the swelling clays may contribute to the increase of the quantity of pyrene adsorpted in the soil (Q), such as happened in the Vertisoil. In this work, was found the Langmuir`s isotherms to Clays soils and Red Yellow Latosoil, BET to Neosoil Quartzarenic and linear isotherm to Vertisoil.
