The empirical relationship between shear stress simulated by PES(particle entrainment simulator)and rotating speed of thermostatic water bath oscillators was established and validated by experiment. Batch equilibrium experiments were performed to assess adsorption and sorption kinetics characteristics of BPA by sediment at different hydrodynamic conditions. The results indicated that the maximum sorption amount of BPA was not affected by shear stresses. The BPA adsorption process can be expected to better fit for the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption process was mainly fast adsorption, which account for 90%. Slow sorption’s contribution was very small. Shear stresses only played an important role in fast adsorption, its average adsorption rate was positive related with shear stresses. The adsorption kinetic curve can be fitted by the pseudo-second order model.
