Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) are used for groundwater remediation at contaminated sites worldwide. This technology has been efficient at appropriate sites for treating organic and inorganic contaminants using zero-valent iron (ZVI) as a reductant and as a reactive material. Continued development of the technology over the years suggests that a robust understanding of PRB performance and the mechanisms involved is still lacking. Conflicting information in the scientific literature downplays the critical role of ZVI corrosion in the remediation of various organic and inorganic pollutants. Additionally, there is a lack of information on how different mechanisms act in tandem to affect ZVI-groundwater systems through time. In this review paper, we describe the underlying mechanisms of PRB performance and remove isolated misconceptions. We discuss the primary mechanisms of ZVI transformation and aging in PRBs and the role of iron corrosion products. We review numerous sites to reinforce our understanding of the interactions between groundwater contaminants and ZVI and the authigenic minerals that form within PRBs. Our findings show that ZVI corrosion products and mineral precipitates play critical roles in the long-term performance of PRBs by influencing the reactivity of ZVI. Pore occlusion by mineral precipitates occurs at the influent side of PRBs and is enhanced by dissolved oxygen and groundwater rich in dissolved solids and high alkalinity, which negatively impacts hydraulic conductivity, allowing contaminants to potentially bypass the treatment zone. Further development of site characterization tools and models is needed to support effective PRB designs for groundwater remediation. 相似文献

可渗透反应墙（PRB）是一种高效的地下水污染原位修复技术。不同水文地质条件下,污染场地墙体位置布设合理性影响其修复效果,而利用地下水数值模拟可实现墙体位置优化。文章以某Cr6+污染地下水场地为例,基于Visual Modflow建立了研究区平面二维稳定流数值模型,并通过模型检验。根据墙体的设计尺寸（长20 m×宽2 m×深12 m）及填充材料的渗透系数（80 m/d）,利用所建模型分别计算了4种布设方案（墙体尺寸大小和填充材料渗透系数相同,布设位置不同）下墙体的捕获区宽度、粒子滞留时间和通过墙体的Cr6+通量。结果表明:4种布设方案模拟的滞留时间和捕获区宽度取值差异性不大,变异系数小于2%;Cr6+通量差别较大,变异系数高达76.32%,主要由地下水中Cr6+浓度空间分布不均引起。对比分析4种方案的各评价指标,方案2求得的捕获区宽度为21.9 m,粒子滞留时间为4.1 d,Cr6+去除量可达127.7 mg/d,可作为最佳布设方案。本研究建立的地下水流数值模型符合场地实际情况,可有效评估PRB截获污染羽的范围和去除目标污染物的能力,为铬渣类污染场地PRB原位修复工程设计与实施提供技术支撑和参考依据。 相似文献

在野外水文地质调查的基础上,采集青岛市大沽河下游咸水入侵区砂样,首先对含水介质的粒度和矿物组成进行了分析,然后通过室内砂槽模拟试验,对咸淡水驱替过程中含水介质的渗透性变化规律进行了研究。结果表明,当咸淡水相互驱替时,含水介质的渗透性会发生显著变化,这种变化主要是由于驱替液盐浓度的变化,使得伊利石、高岭石和绿泥石等非膨胀性粘土矿物经释放、迁移、絮凝和沉积,从而重新分布所引起的。含水介质渗透性的变化具有明显的非均质性,即位于距入水处不同水平距离以及不同高度处的含水介质,其渗透性变化规律有所不同。 相似文献

A numerical analysis of dimensionality and heterogeneity effects on advective dispersive seawater intrusion processes 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Two-dimensional (2D) and 3D numerical simulations of the dispersive Henry problem show that heterogeneity affects seawater intrusion differently in 2D and 3D. When the variance of a multi-Gaussian isotropic hydraulic conductivity field increases, the penetration of the saltwater wedge decreases in 2D while it increases in 3D. This is due to the combined influence of advective and dispersive processes which are affected differently by heterogeneity and problem dimensionality. First, the equivalent hydraulic conductivity controls the mean head gradient and therefore the position of the wedge. For an isotropic medium, increasing the variance increases the equivalent conductivity in 3D but not in 2D. Second, the macrodispersion controls the rotation of the saltwater wedge by affecting the magnitude of the density contrasts along the saltwater wedge. An increased dispersion due to heterogeneity leads to a decreasing density contrast and therefore a smaller penetration of the wedge. The relative magnitude of these two opposite effects depends on the degree of heterogeneity, anisotropy of the medium, and dimension. Investigating these effects in 3D is very heavy numerically; as an alternative, one can simulate 2D heterogeneous media that approximate the behaviour of the 3D ones, provided that their statistical distribution is rescaled. 相似文献

Nowadays, permeable reactive barriers (PRB) are one of the most widespread techniques for the remediation of contaminated aquifers. Over the past 10 years, the use of iron-based PRBs has evolved from innovative to accepted standard practice for the treatment of a variety of groundwater contaminants (ITRC in: Permeable reactive barriers: lessons learned/new directions. The Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council, Permeable Reactive Barriers Team 2005). Although, a variety of excavation methods have been developed, backhoe excavators are often used for the construction of PRBs. The aim of this study is to describe the emplacement of a full-scale PRB and the benefits deriving from the use of a crawler crane equipped with a hydraulic grab (also known as clamshell excavator) in the excavation phases. The studied PRB was designed to remediate a chlorinated hydrocarbons plume at an old industrial landfill site, in Avigliana, near the city of Torino, in Italy. The continuous reactive barrier was designed to be 120 m long, 13 m deep, and 0.6 m thick. The installation of the barrier was accomplished using a clamshell for the excavation of the trench and a guar-gum slurry to support the walls. The performance of this technique was outstanding and allowed the installation of the PRB in 7 days. The degree of precision of the excavation was very high because of the intrinsic characteristics of this excavation tool and of the use of a concrete curb to guide the hydraulic grab. Moreover, the adopted technique permitted a saving of bioslurry thus minimizing the amount of biocide required. 相似文献

The Cr(VI) reduction behaviour of five different types of grey cast iron shavings meant for construction of a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) in Thun, Switzerland, was investigated by performing batch and column experiments. Closed system batch experiments clearly demonstrated that the largest shavings also containing the largest spherical C inclusions, were best qualified for the PRB due to their fast Cr(VI) reduction rate. However, the column experiment performed with this type of material revealed that a complete and long term Cr(VI) treatment by the planned PRB was questionable due to the site-specific high groundwater flow velocities and the almost O2 and CaCO3 saturated aquifer conditions. The experimentally observed Cr(VI) breakthrough is explained as a result of a decline of reactivity provoked by a strong passivation by observed Fe hydroxides (FeOOH-polymorphs) and carbonates (calcite and aragonite).The column experiment was simulated using the reactive transport modelling code CrunchFlow. Iron cycling and intra-aqueous reactions were incorporated into a previously described reaction network in order to model the strong decline in reactivity of grey cast iron. All key parameters like aqueous species concentrations and mineralogical evolution of the column were successfully modelled. The modelling results confirmed that the observed Cr(VI) breakthrough was caused by surface passivation of the Fe shavings. Complete oxidation of the initially present mass of shavings is not predicted to occur during the expected PRB lifetime of several decades. The model seems to be robust, and it is expected that an application of the calibrated model in 2D to field sites will allow a quantitative evaluation for the performance of planned PRB’s in such environments. 相似文献

The Shoalhaven region of NSW experiences environmental acidification due to acid sulphate soils (ASS). In order to trial an
environmental engineering solution to groundwater remediation involving a permeable reactive barrier (PRB), comprehensive
site characterisation and laboratory-based batch and column tests of reactive materials were conducted. The PRB is designed
to perform in situ remediation of the acidic groundwater (pH 3) that is generated in ASS. Twenty-five alkaline reactive materials
have been tested for suitability for the barrier, with an emphasis on waste materials, including waste concrete, limestone,
calcite-bearing zeolitic breccia, blast furnace slag and oyster shells. Following three phases of batch tests, two waste materials
(waste concrete and oyster shells) were chosen for column tests that simulate flow conditions through the barrier and using
acidic water from the field site (pH 3). Both waste materials successfully treated with the acidic water, for example, after
300 pore volumes, the oyster shells still neutralised the water (pH 7). 相似文献

Hyperfiltration (reverse osmosis) and subsequent precipitation of minerals from the hyperfiltrated solution are processes that potentially decrease the hydraulic conductivity of porous media. These processes were demonstrated by hyperfiltrating NiSO4 solutions through fine-grained sandstone. The mineral precipitates occur in very small (mm sized) layers at the high-pressure side of the samples where they create zones of lowered hydraulic conductivity (2–3 orders of magnitude lower than initial). The total amount of precipitates is very small compared to the dissolved mass which was passed through the membrane. Hyperfiltration-induced precipitates and the resulting lowering of hydraulic conductivities were observed at solute saturations as low as 10%. Nevertheless, at saturations higher than 50% the conductivity reduction strongly increased. Full reversibility of the hydraulic conductivity reduction by extensive re-flushing with water was only obtained at low initial solute saturations (10%). This indicates that precipitated minerals in many pores are susceptible only to very slow, diffusion-controlled re-dissolution. 相似文献

Numerical evaluation of multicomponent cation exchange reactive transport in physically and geochemically heterogeneous porous media 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Experimental evidence and stochastic studies strongly show that the transport of reactive solutes in porous media is significantly
influenced by heterogeneities in hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and sorption parameters. In this paper, we present Monte
Carlo numerical simulations of multicomponent reactive transport involving competitive cation exchange reactions in a two-dimensional
vertical physically and geochemically heterogeneous medium. Log hydraulic conductivity, log K, and log cation exchange capacity (log CEC) are assumed to be random Gaussian functions with spherical semivariograms. Random
realizations of log K and log CEC are used as input data for the numerical simulation of multicomponent reactive transport with CORE2D, a general purpose reactive transport code. Longitudinal features of the fronts of reactive and conservative species are
computed from the temporal and spatial moments of depth-averaged concentrations. Monte Carlo simulations show that: (1) the
displacement of reactive fronts increases with increasing variance of log K, while it decreases with the variance of log CEC; (2) second-order spatial moments increase with increasing variances of
log K and log CEC; (3) uncertainties in the mean arrival time are largest (smallest) for negatively (positively) correlated log
K and Log CEC; (4) cations undergoing competitive cation exchange exhibit different apparent velocities and retardation factors
due to both physical and geochemical heterogeneities; and (5) the correlation between log K and log CEC affects significantly apparent cation retardation factors in heterogeneous aquifers. 相似文献

Marine sediments typically exhibit steep porosity gradients in their uppermost centimeters. Although the decrease in porosity with depth below the sediment-water interface is primarily due to compression arising from the accumulation of overlying sediment, early diagenetic mineral dissolution and precipitation reactions may potentially also affect the porosity gradient. Here, we present a steady state compaction model, based on the mass and momentum conservation of total fluid and solid phases, in order to quantify the relative contributions of mineral reactions and physical compaction on porosity changes. The compaction model is applied to estimate hydraulic conductivity and compressive response coefficients of deep-sea sediments from measured porosity depth profiles. The results suggest an inverse relation between the compressive response coefficient and the lithogenic content of marine sediments. For deep-sea sediments exhibiting high rates of dissolution of siliceous shell fragments, the compaction model ignoring mineral reactions overestimates the hydraulic conductivity and compressive response coefficients. In contrast to non-compacting porous media, mineral dissolution in surficial sediments can lead to lower porosity. However, as illustrated for a deep-sea sediment in the equatorial Atlantic characterized by extensive dissolution of calcareous shell fragments, the effect of mineral dissolution and precipitation reactions on porosity gradients is, in most cases, negligible. 相似文献

Hexavalent chromium is a soluble, mobile, and highly toxic metal ion in groundwater. Adsorption by permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) with special sorbent is a common method to remove hexavalent chromium. A series of experiments have been performed to remove hexavalent chromium in groundwater under PRB with modified chitosan. Therefore, in this paper, the authors first estimated adsorption characteristics of the modified chitosan in a column test, and then calibrated the PRB adsorption parameters in a sandbox test, and finally designed an optimal width, length, and depth of the PRB with the same reactive media in a three-dimensional aquifer. The results showed that the modified chitosan might be a potential adsorption medium. The design schemes can meet the water quality standard of 0.1 mg/L Cr(VI). Heterogeneity of dispersion is a crucial factor when designing the PRB. Therefore, the design of the PRB structures can be appropriate and serve as reference for groundwater remediation. 相似文献

At a Cr(VI) contaminated site in Thun, Switzerland, a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) was installed in 2008. Downstream Cr(VI) concentrations did not indicate any sign of its successful operation more than 2 years after PRB installation. The cause for this potential PRB failure was investigated by performing Cr isotope measurements and a multi-tracer experiment. The combination of reactive (Cr isotopes) and non-reactive tracers allowed characterizing the groundwater flow regime in the vicinity of the PRB in detail. In particular, it could be confirmed that most of the Cr(VI) load is currently bypassing the barrier, whereas only a minor Cr(VI) load is flowing through the PRB. Fitting of observed breakthrough curves using a conventional advection dispersion model resulted in average linear flow velocities of 13–15 m/day for the bypassing Cr(VI) load and 4–5 m/day for the Cr(VI) flowing through the barrier. Using a Rayleigh fractionation model a Cr(VI) reduction efficiency of 77–98% was estimated for the Cr(VI) load that is flowing through the barrier. In contrast, a value of 0–23% was estimated for the current overall PRB reduction efficiency. It is concluded that the PRB bypass and the low overall Cr(VI) reduction efficiency are caused by a limited PRB permeability inherited from skin effects that occurred during PRB emplacement. 相似文献

It has been widely accepted that reinforcement made of polyethylene and polypropylene is susceptible to creep and soil’s hydraulic conductivity varies with its void ratio. However, unfortunately there is no available sensitivity analysis on time-dependent embankment behaviour taking either reinforcement viscosity or time varying hydraulic conductivity of subsoil into consideration. The influence of geosynthetic reinforcement viscosity and decreasing hydraulic conductivity with consolidation on the time-dependent performance of embankments with floating columns is investigated using a fully 3D coupled model. For an embankment at the working height corresponding to a post-consolidation polypropylene geotextile strain of about 5%, it is shown that the assumption of constant hydraulic conductivity and the failure to consider the viscous behaviour of geosynthetic reinforcement can underestimate time-dependent embankment deformations (including differential crest settlement and horizontal toe movement). The effects of factors including the foundation soil, reinforcement stiffness, column stiffness, column spacing, column type (floating and fully penetrating), and construction rate, on the time-dependent behaviour of column supported embankments are explored. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of water-cement ratio and cement content on the hydraulic behavior of soil–cement–bentonite (SCB) and soil–bentonite (SB) mixtures permeated with water and diesel oil, to assist with the design of vertical cutoff walls constructed with those mixtures. The experimental program included unconfined compression tests, hydraulic conductivity tests and X-ray diffraction analysis. The test results indicated changes in hydraulic conductivity take place due to the variation of the water-cement ratio and permeant fluid. The hydraulic conductivity of the SB mixtures permeated with diesel oil was higher than the hydraulic conductivity of the same samples permeated with water. X-ray diffraction analyses suggest that this might be due to the decrease in double layer thickness and increase of seepage pore space imparted by diesel oil permeation. Conversely, Portland cement addition increased the hydraulic conductivity of the SCB specimens permeated with water, whereas subsequent diesel oil permeation reduced the hydraulic conductivity of the SCB specimens; this might be due to the relatively lower impact imparted by diesel permeation on the double layer characteristics of the bentonite stabilized with Portland cement. 相似文献

Monitored natural attenuation can be a viable option for remediation of groundwater contamination by BTEX compounds. Under
the field conditions, the rate of contaminant mass attenuation through natural processes, such as biodegradation, to a large
extent affected by the groundwater flow regime, which is primarily controlled by the aquifer heterogeneity. Numerical simulation
techniques were used to describe quantitatively the relationship between biodegradation rate of BTEX and aquifer heterogeneity.
Different levels of aquifer heterogeneity were described by random hydraulic conductivity fields (K) having different statistical
parameters, the coefficient of variation (CV) and the correlation length (h). The Turning Bands Algorithm was used to generate
such K fields. Visual MODFLOW/RT3D was used to simulate the fate and transport of dissolved BTEX plume within heterogeneous
aquifers. The multispecies reactive transport approach described BTEX degradation using multiple terminal electron-accepting
processes. First-order biodegradation rate constants were calculated from simulated BTEX plumes in heterogeneous flow fields.
The results showed that aquifer heterogeneity significantly affected biodegradation rate; it decreased with increasing CV
when h was in the range of up to 12 m, whereas it increased with increasing CV when h was greater than about 12 m. For well characterized aquifers, this finding could be of great value in assessing the effectiveness
of natural attenuation during feasibility studies at BTEX contaminated sites. 相似文献

The objectives of this study are to design an optimal electro-enhanced permeable reactive barrier (E2PRB) system for the remediation
of trichloroethylene (TCE)-contaminated water using zero valent iron (ZVI) and direct current (DC) and to investigate the
mechanisms responsible for TCE degradation in different ZVI-DC configurations. A series of column experiments was conducted
to evaluate the effect of different arrangements of electrodes and ZVI barriers in the column on the TCE removal capacity
(RC). In twelve different combinations of ZVI and/or DC application in the test columns, the rate of reductive dechlorination
of TCE was improved up to six times with simultaneous application of ZVI and DC compared to that using ZVI only. The most
effective arrangement of electrode and ZVI for TCE removal was the column set with ZVI and a cathode installed at the down
gradient. Based on the electrokinetic study for the column systems with only DC input, single acid front movement could explain
different RCs. An enhanced dechlorination rate of TCE using E2PRB systems, compared to a conventional PRB system, was observed,
and is considered to be attributed to more electron sources: (1) external DC, (2) electrolysis of water, (3) oxidation of
ZVI, (4) oxidation of dissolved Fe2+, (5) oxidation of molecular hydrogen at the cathode, and (6) oxidation of Fe2+ in mineral precipitates. Each of these electron sources was evaluated for their potential influencing the TCE RC through
the electron competition model and energy consumption. A strong correlation between the quantity of electrons generated, RC,
and the energy-effectiveness was found. 相似文献
