CONTAMINANT TRANSPORT IN THE SUBSURFACE AT THE PORE-MICROPORE INTERFACE

Abstract eng:
The field of contaminant transport and remediation has achieved a great deal of advancements in recent years. However, practice has shown that remediation efforts are often plagued by extremely long breakthrough curve tails, an indication of almost infinite time requirements for the remediation efforts to bring the level of contaminants below the regulatory standards. It has been postulated that this is due to the effect of micropores. This paper proposes a method to forecast effects of micropores on contaminant transport at both macroscopic and microscopic levels and to establish a link between the two different approaches.
