This paper discusses the migration of the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contamination, which concludes the migration rule of the TPH contamination through designing indoor soil column leaching experiments. Through researching the migration concentration of TPH in different leaching amount, results shows that the ability of migration of TPH is more powerful when there is more leaching amount. But overall, the affection caused by different leaching amount is not obvious. The results of this research can provide guidance to the nonproliferation and remediation of petroleum contamination.

This paper designs a square column leaching experiment to probe the coupling flow-reaction-transmission. 2.372 kg of Yanglas copper ore with a grade of 1.25% was loaded in a 6×6 cm2 column whose height is 60 cm. A 28-day leaching gave an approximate copper yield of 14.5 gram, which is an equivalence of copper leaching rate being 50%. Hydraulic conductivity was measured. The changing trends are analyzed by mathematical analysis software Eviews and Matlab, and the numerical simulation was conducted.

Soil properties have a significant influence on solutes redistribution in the soil vadose zones. The aim of this study was to assess the relevance of soil properties for solute transport characteristics in degraded wetland soils using 72 undisturbed soil columns from two experimental fields located in Robinia pseudoacacia (CH) and Tamarix chinensis (CL) communities. Combining soil column tracer experiments, all experiments were conducted under the same initial and boundary conditions using Brilliant Blue FCF as a conservative tracer. Solute transport characteristics were described by four measures of dye solution steady infiltration rate of effluents, dye solution concentration of effluents, soil column dye staining patterns, and cumulative dye solution leaching. Numerical modeling by the dual-permeability model in HYDRUS-1D was used to simulate the proportion of cumulative dye solution leaching from soil macropore flow. This study showed that basic soil properties exhibited a significant difference at CH site and at CL site. Dye solution steady infiltration rate of effluents at CH site decreased with soil depth, but increased at first and then decreased with soil depth at CL site. Dye solution concentration of effluents both at CH site and at CL site decreased nonlinearly with soil depth. Soil column dye staining patterns were significantly different among different soil locations, indicating the largest dark blue staining domains from soil depth of 0-10 cm at CH site and 20-40 cm at CL site. The proportion of cumulative dye solution leaching from soil macropore flow was from 37.6 to 61.1% at CH site, whereas from 0 to 99.9% at CL site. Basic soil properties played inconsistent roles in solute transport characteristics. The understanding of soil properties and its correlation with solute transport characteristics is the first step for degraded wetland restoration and development. Some alternative solutions of wetland restoration are proposed for managers.

Immobilization of lead (Pb) using soil amendments can reduce Pb toxicity and bioavailability in soil. This study evaluated Pb immobilization in a Pb-contaminated soil by using peat moss through various tests. The Pb-contaminated soil (2000 mg Pb·kg−1) was amended with 1%, 5%, and 10% of peat moss to immobilize Pb in the soil. The immobilization properties of Pb in the contaminated soil were evaluated by a column leaching experiment, a microcosm test, and a batch incubation test. Peat moss significantly reduced the Pb leaching in all of the experiments and more effectively reduced mobility and toxicity of Pb in the column leaching and microcosm tests than bioavailability in the batch incubation test. The immobilized lead from the soils amended with 1%, 5%, and 10% of peat moss was 37.9%, 87.1%, and 95.4% from the column leaching test, 18.5%, 90.9%, and 96.4% from the microcosm test, and 2.0%, 36.9%, and 57.9% from the NH4NO3extraction method, respectively, indicating that peat moss can be effectively used for the remediation of Pb-contaminated soil.
