Remediation Of Soil

The objective of this study is to quantify the effects of humic acid solution infiltration on the transport of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soil columns using a three-phase transport model. From experimental results, it is found that the dissolved organic carbon enhances the transport of OCPs in the soil columns. In the OCPs-only column, the concentration profiles of OCPs can be simulated well using a two-phase transport model with numerical method or analytical solution. In the OCPs-DOC column, the migrations of aldrin, DDT and its daughter compounds are faster than those in the OCPs-only column. The simulation with the three-phase model is more accurate than that with the two-phase model. In addition, significant decrease of the fluid pore velocities of the OCPs-DOC column was found. When DOC leachate is applied for remediation of soil or groundwater pollution, the decrease of mean pore velocities will be a crucial affecting factor.

The modern theme of agriculture is not only to increase production but also to minimize undesirable environmental effects. Leaching of surface-applied fertilizer is the major source of groundwater pollution. Nitrogenous fertilizers are the most popular among the Indian farmers, which on leaching reach the groundwater in different forms (NH4-N, NO3-N, etc). NO3-N leaches faster than other types, remains in-reactive in groundwater, moves with the velocity of groundwater and contaminates it. Contamination arises when NO3-N accumulates in groundwater and consumed in high amount by humans and animals, may result in adverse health effects. For the study of contaminant transport phenomenon in porous medium, a general convection dispersion equation is used, in which dispersion coefficient is one of the primary parameters necessary to be determined for a particular soil. Keeping it in view a study was conducted to assess different available techniques to determine the dispersion coefficient with the help of soil columns having silty loam soil as soil medium. The value of the dispersion coefficient obtained for silty loam soil, by this method was equal to 0.00576 m2.
