Methane Transport during a Controlled Release in the Vadose Zone

Risk assessment of industrial hydrocarbon release and transport in the vadose zone as it travels to groundwater table: A case study

In this paper, a modeling tool for risk assessment analysis of the movement of hydrocarbon contaminants in the vadose zone and mass flux of contamination release into the groundwater table was developed. Also, advection-diffusion-reaction equations in combination with a three-phase equilibrium state between trapped air, soil humidity, and solid particles of unsaturated soil matrix were numerica...

Vadose Zone Processes and Chemical Transport

soils. A natural obstacle to this practice is the accelerated aging of iron and loss of reactivity resulting from O2 Permeable zerovalent iron (Fe0 ) barriers have become an estabin the soil atmosphere. Despite this apparent limitation, lished technology for remediating contaminated ground water. This same technology may be applicable for treating pesticides amenable situations could arise wher...

Colloid-facilitated Transport of Radionuclides through the Vadose Zone

Research Objectives: This project seeks to improve the basic understanding of colloid and colloid-facilitated transport of Cs in the vadose zone. The specific objectives are: • Determine the structure, composition, and surface charge characteristics of colloidal particles formed under conditions similar to those occurring during leakage of waste typical of Hanford tank supernatants into soils a...
