ABSTRACTThe migration of an anionic species of 60Co through soil has been examined utilizing data on the migration of radionuclides leached from an aqueous waste disposal site. Correlation coefficients between concentrations of the anionic species of 60Co and those of the particulate, cationic and non-ionic species of 60Co reveal that the anionic species of 60Co was not interconverted from the other species during migration. The cross correlations of changes in the concentrations of the anionic species of 60Co with time between three different down gradient positions give a calculated retardation factor of the anionic species of 60Co of approximately 19, being 1200 times lower than the results of laboratory measurements. The average concentration distribution of the anionic species of 60Co suggests that the migration of the anionic species of 60Co consists of two migration fractions which were driven by different migration mechanisms.

In order to describe the changes of soil temperature field, air flow field and remediation situation with time during the process of thermally enhanced SVE (soil vapor extraction), a remediation experiment of benzene contaminated soil with single extraction pipe was carried out in a box device. The results showed that the whole temperature of the system was raised to 80 °C in 4 h. 43% of benzene were removed in the first 2% of the extraction time. After 24 h, the repair efficiency was close to 100%. The device can efficiently remove benzene from soil. By continuously monitoring the parameters in the operation process of the system, the spatial distribution of temperature and soil gas pollutant concentration with time was plotted. It showed the benzene concentration distribution in the soil gas was more consistent with the temperature distribution before the start of ventilation, and the concentration of benzene in the soil gas dropped rapidly after ventilation, while the temperature distribution was almost unaffected. In the treatment of soil with a benzene content of 17.8 mg∙kg−1, when the soil gas benzene concentration is the highest at 180 min, the peak value is 11,200 mg∙m−3, and the average concentration is 7629.4 mg∙m−3.
