Air flow optimization and surfactant enhancement to remediate toluene-contaminated saturated soils using air sparging
This paper presents the results of laboratory experiments that investigate the removal of volatile organic compounds from saturated soils through the use of air sparging. Three series of experiments were performed in a column test apparatus using two different soils to represent actual field conditions, namely, a fine gravel and a medium to fine Ottawa sand (both obtained from sources near Chic...
متن کاملAir-sparging Remediation: a Study on Heterogeneity and Air Mobility Reduction
Contaminated groundwater is a widespread problem often requiring innovative technologies to remediate. In this study, physical models of the air-sparging process are developed, and contaminant recoveries are compared with predictions from a mathematical model. Initial tests used a very fine, porous media (a glass bead-packed column) to represent relatively homogeneous soil samples. Subsequent t...
متن کاملAir sparging effectiveness: laboratory characterization of air-channel mass transfer zone for VOC volatilization.
Air sparging in conjunction with soil vapor extraction is one of many technologies currently being applied for the remediation of groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Mass transfer at the air-water interface during air sparging is affected by various soil and VOC properties. In this study with a single air-channel apparatus, mass transfer of VOCs was shown to occur w...
متن کاملEffect of Temporal Changes in Air Injection Rate on Air Sparging Performance Groundwater Remediation.
Air sparging (AS) is a commonly applied method for treating groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When using a constant injection of air (continuous mode), a decline in remediation efficiency is often observed, resulting from insufficient mixing of contaminants at the pore scale. It is well known that turning the injection on and off (pulsed mode) may lead to a better...
متن کاملEffect of groundwater flow on remediation of dissolved-phase VOC contamination using air sparging.
This paper presents two-dimensional laboratory experiments performed to study how groundwater flow may affect the injected air zone of influence and remedial performance, and how injected air may alter subsurface groundwater flow and contaminant migration during in situ air sparging. Tests were performed by subjecting uniform sand profiles contaminated with dissolved-phase benzene to a hydrauli...
