为进一步研究地下水曝气原位修复技术的影响因素,采用室内实验的方法系统地研究了含水介质对原位曝气技术修复地下水污染的影响。研究结果表明:大量水相中的柴油在曝气的开始阶段被去除,随着时间的延长,污染物去除率不断增加,但增加的幅度逐渐减小。污染物去除率与时间关系曲线符合对数曲线规律,相关方程为y=alnx+b,R2=0.802 4～0.907 1,相关性较好。含水介质的渗透系数对地下水污染修复的影响较大,渗透系数与污染物的去除率基本呈正相关关系,渗透系数越大,污染物的去除率越大;含水介质密度与污染物去除率基本呈负相关关系,含水介质密度越大,污染物的去除率越小。     

石油污染物在滨海盐渍土中的迁移规律

土中石油污染物具有不稳定性,随环境改变易向周边发生二次迁移,危及周围土体和水体。本文以滨海地区石油污染盐渍土为研究背景,考虑污染强度、石油污染物在土中的存留时间、土体密度为变量参数,探索即时淋滤和过时淋滤条件下土中石油污染物的二维向迁移规律。研究结果表明:即时淋滤条件下,石油污染物强度越大,其在盐渍土中迁移的越深,最大迁移深度为6 cm。干密度（1.2~1.4g ·cm-3）对盐渍土中石油污染物迁移深度的影响较小,但干密度越大,土体对石油污染物的截留能力越强,相同深度处石油污染物的浓度越低。在水平方向,污染强度越大,密度越大,石油污染物在土体中沿半径方向浓度递减幅度越大;过时淋滤条件下,石油污染物在竖直方向的迁移规律与即时条件下相似,但表层盐渍土对石油的截留能力更强,其在盐渍土中迁移的最大深度为4 cm,土体对石油类污染物的最大截留率为99.98%。在水平方向,污染强度越大,密度越小,石油污染物在土体中沿半径方向浓度递减幅度越大;盐渍土对石油污染物具有一定的吸附性,增大密度有利于提高吸附的稳定性。

空气扰动技术对地下水中氯苯污染晕的控制及去除效果

原位空气扰动技术(air sparging,AS)是去除饱和土壤和地下水中挥发性有机物的最有效方法之一。首先利用二维砂槽研究曝气量与空气饱和度、影响半径的关系。结果表明:提高曝气量可以增大地下水中的空气饱和度以及曝气影响半径,但二者的增幅与曝气量的增幅不成比例,随着曝气量的增加,二者增幅减缓。又利用砂槽研究了在水力梯度一定的情况下,不同曝气量对氯苯迁移和去除效果的影响。空气的注入降低了影响区域的渗透系数,减缓了地下水的流动,有效地控制了污染物的迁移。未曝气时,130 h以后,氯苯随地下水流迁移出砂箱的比例为19.7%,而曝气量为0.1、0.2 m³/h时,此比例仅为3.6%和0.9%;与此同时,AS对氯苯的去除率分别为68.2%和78.6%。这说明AS可以有效控制污染物的迁移和去除,曝气量较大时效果更为明显。

A dynamic two‐phase flow model for air sparging

Air sparging (AS) is an in situ soil/groundwater remediation technology, which involves the injection of pressurized air/oxygen through an air sparging well below the zone of contamination. Characterizing the mechanisms governing movement of air through saturated porous media is critical for the design of an effective cleanup treatment system. In this research, micromechanical investigation was performed to understand the physics of air migration and subsequent spatial distribution of air at pore scale during air sparging. The void space in the porous medium was first characterized by pore network consisting of connected pore bodies and bonds. The biconical abscissa asymmetric concentric bond was used to describe the connection between two adjacent pore bodies. Then a rule‐based dynamic two‐phase flow model was developed and applied to the pore network model. A forward integration of time was performed using the Euler scheme. For each time step, the effective viscosity of the fluid was calculated based on fractions of two phases in each bond, and capillary pressures across the menisci was considered to compute the pressure field. The developed dynamic model was used to study the rate‐dependent drainage during air sparging. The effect of the capillary number and geometrical properties of the network on the dynamic flow properties of two‐phase flow including residual saturation, spatial distribution of air and water, dynamic phase transitions, and relative permeability‐capillary pressure curves were systematically investigated. Results showed that all the above information for describing the air water two‐phase flow are not intrinsic properties of the porous medium but are affected by the two‐phase flow dynamics and spatial distribution of each phase, providing new insight to air sparging.

Fluids’ dynamics in transient air sparging of a heterogeneous unconfined aquifer

Water table dynamics, dissolved oxygen (DO) content, electrical resistivity (ER) in monitoring wells and air pressure in the vadose zone are monitored in air sparging (AS) accompanied by soil vapor extraction (SVE) at a hydrocarbon-contaminated groundwater site in Oman, where a diesel spillover affected a heterogeneous unconfined aquifer. The formation of a groundwater mound at the early stage of air injection and potential lateral migration of contaminants from the mound apex called for an additional hydrodynamic barrier constructed as a pair of pump-and-treat (P&T) wells whose recirculation zone encompassed the AS and SVE wells. In all monitored piezometers the phreatic surface showed a rapid and distinct peak, which is attributed to the time of air breakthrough from the injection point to the vadose zone and a relatively mild recession limb interpreted as a decay of the mound. Tracer tests showed a layer of a relatively low hydraulic conductivity at an intermediate depth of the screened interval of the wells. Increased levels of DO and borehole air pressure that have been observed (as far as 50 m away) are likely mitigated by SVE and P&T. Radius of influence can be indirectly inferred from ER and DO changes in the AS operation zone. Salt tracer tests have shown that groundwater velocity within the AS zone decreases with the increase of air injection rate.     

Advances in Air Sparging Technology of Saturated Zone

In situ air sparging involves injecting atmospheric air, under pressure, into the saturated zone to remove those volatile and semi-volatile organic groundwater contaminants and to promote their biodegradation by increasing subsurface oxygen concentrations. Due to the advantages of low cost, high efficiency and in situ constructability, groundwater Air Sparging (AS) technology has been quickly developed in the world recently. Based on the explanation of its remediation principle, literature review is done on the research advancement of air sparging technology mainly from three aspects. First, various methods for determination of the zone of influence and visualization techniques of air flow forms during air sparging are summarized. Then the influence of environmental geological conditions and construction technology parameters on the remediation effect of air sparging is systematically analyzed. Thereafter, two main types of air sparging theoretical models including lumped-parameter model and multiphase fluid flow model are discussed respectively in detail. Finally, based on the problems and difficulties existing in present research and engineering practice, several future tasks such as the enhancement remediation techniques in complex geological sites, microscopic intrinsic mechanisms, and establishment of related design and construction standards which require to be done are briefly analyzed.     

Remediation of saturated Shanghai sandy silt contaminated with p-xylene using air sparging

Air sparging is an effective technique for the remediation of soil and groundwater polluted by volatile organic compounds. In this paper, this technique was investigated by conducting air-sparging test in the laboratory on the Shanghai sandy silt that was artificially contaminated with p-xylene. A test tank was designed for this purpose. During the air-sparging process, aqueous p-xylene solutions were extracted from the observation holes, and their concentrations were quantified by the spectrophotometric detection method. The mechanism of mass transfer process of p-xylene in the vicinity of sparging well and the remediation of the contaminated groundwater by air sparging were explored. The results showed that the removal zone of the p-xylene was mainly located within a radius of about 20?cm around the air injection well, with 90?% p-xylene removed after 20-day air sparging. Within the initial 5-day sparging, the concentration of p-xylene decreased rapidly in the mass transfer zone. By contrast, in the area far from the injection well, the p-xylene concentration decreased evenly and slowly. Thus, the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater by air sparging is space?Ctime dependent. For further analysis, the adsorption of silt was taken into account, and the distribution coefficient, K _d , was introduced to the modified Shackleford??s mass transfer model. The comparison between the simulated and measured results indicates that the modified model can satisfactorily describe the p-xylene mass transfer observed in this study.     

A GIS raster technique to optimise contaminated soil removal

A geographic information system (GIS) raster technique has been developed and used interactively with remediation designers to evaluate the optimum extent of excavating soil contaminated by chlorinated solvents. The technique and the results of its application are presented. The site was a former chemical storage plant for acids and solvents. Two distinct solvent plumes were detected within the ground using a photo-ionisation detector. The solvents were found to be dissolved in the groundwater and migrating in the general direction of groundwater flow. A remediation strategy was proposed involving the localised excavation of contamination ‘hot spots’ followed by the implementation of a groundwater remediation system. A number of excavation options were discussed and the GIS raster technique was developed to evaluate these options in terms of contaminant removed and excavation cost.

The plumes were initially mapped using a triangular irregular network (TIN). These TIN models were rasterised to produce a regular grid of rectangular cells, each cell having a value relating to the concentration of contaminant at that spatial point. The proposed excavation zones were then overlaid on to the raster models as masks. The relationship between the value of contaminant concentration of cells within the mask (or excavation zone) and the total value of contaminant concentration of cells within the solvent plume was used to determine the efficiency of the excavation.

The excavation options were compared taking into account the percentage of the contaminant plume removed, the excavation area (soil volumes) and related costs. Once the GIS raster technique had been developed, it proved very quick to rerun the analysis for the other excavation zones. The optimum excavation zone, based upon cost and contaminant recovery, was found for the site. The technique helped by targeting the worst area of contamination and provided the client with a cost-benefit analysis of the different remediation options.

Arsenic mobilization in an oxidizing alkaline groundwater: Experimental studies,comparison and optimization of geochemical modeling parameters

Arsenic (As) mobilization and contamination of groundwater affects millions of people worldwide. Progress in developing effective in-situ remediation schemes requires the incorporation of data from laboratory experiments and field samples into calibrated geochemical models.In an oxidizing aquifer where leaching of high pH industrial waste from unlined surface impoundments led to mobilization of naturally occurring As up to 2 mg L⁻¹, sequential extractions of solid phase As as well as, batch sediment microcosm experiments were conducted to understand As partitioning and solid-phase sorptive and buffering capacity. These data were combined with field data to create a series of geochemical models of the system with modeling programs PHREEQC and FITEQL. Different surface complexation modeling approaches, including component additivity (CA), generalized composite (GC), and a hybrid method were developed, compared and fitted to data from batch acidification experiments to simulate potential remediation scenarios. Several parameters strongly influence the concentration of dissolved As including pH, presence of competing ions (particularly phosphate) and the number of available sorption sites on the aquifer solids. Lowering the pH of groundwater to 7 was found to have a variable, but limited impact (<63%) on decreasing the concentration of dissolved As. The models indicate that in addition to lowering pH, decreasing the concentration of dissolved phosphate and/or increasing the number of available sorption sites could significantly decrease the As solubility to levels below 10 μg L⁻¹. The hybrid and GC modeling results fit the experimental data well (NRMSE<10%) with reasonable effort and can be implemented in further studies for validation.     

表面活性剂强化空气扰动修复氯苯污染含水层

通过一维砂柱实验研究了阴离子表面活性剂十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)对空气扰动技术(air sparging,AS)修复氯苯污染地下水的强化效果.结果表明,SDBS的加入降低了地下水的表面张力,减小了水气两相毛细压力,从而提高了地下水中的空气饱和度.当曝气量为100 mL/min,地下水的表面张力由72.2 mN/m降至49.5 mN/m时,地下水中空气饱和度由13.2%提高至50.1%,而后随着表面张力的进一步降低,空气饱和度不再提高,反而有小幅下降.通过污染物的去除实验发现,SDBS的加入大大提高了氯苯的去除率,且去除率的变化与空气饱和度的变化趋势基本相符.因此,表面活性剂的加入可以作为空气扰动技术一种十分有效的强化手段.
