Different geoenvironmental site investigation techniques to assess contamination from a municipal solid waste disposal site
in Brazil are presented here. Superficial geophysical investigation (geoelectrical survey), resistivity piezocone penetration
tests (RCPTU), soil samples collected with direct-push samplers and water samples collected from monitoring wells were applied
in this study. The application of the geoelectrical method was indispensable to identify the presence and flow direction of
contamination plumes (leachate) as well as to indicate the most suitable locations for RCPTU tests and soil and water sampling.
Chemical analyses of groundwater samples contributed to a better understanding of the flow of the contaminated plume. The
piezocone presented some limitations for tropical soils, since the groundwater level is sometimes deeper than the layer which
is impenetrable to the cone, and the soil genesis and unsaturated conditions affect soil behavior. The combined interpretation
of geoelectrical measurements and soil and water samplings underpinned the interpretation of RCPTU tests. The interpretation
of all the test results indicates that the contamination plume has already overreached the landfill’s west-northwest borders.
Geoenvironmental laboratory test results suggest that contamination from the solid waste disposal site has been developing
gradually, indicating the need for continuous monitoring of the groundwater. 相似文献

Knowledge of transport processes of heat and moisture in soils of arid zones is vital to understanding the environmental and economic impacts of many activities: agriculture, waste disposal, geoenvironmental practices and earth sciences. Through extensive review and study on the different aspects of coupled transfer processes in swelling porous media, a general mathematical model for coupled heat, moisture, air flow and deformation problems in clayey soils is proposed in a consistent and unified manner. The model is characterized by the presence of a deformable solid matrix filled with two fluid phases (liquid water and air). In the proposed model, both pore water and air transfers are assumed to be governed by the generalized Darcy’s law. Fully coupled, non-linear partial differential equations are established and then solved by using a Galerkin weighted residual approach in space domain and an implicit integrating scheme in time domain. The obtained model has been finally validated by means of some case tests for the prediction of the thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated swelling soils. The calculated relative errors between experimental and numerical results are 3% for temperature and 7% for stresses. Consequently, the developed numerical model predicts satisfactory results, compared to experimental test measures. The model is applicable to two-dimensional problems with various initial and boundary conditions; non-linear soil parameters can be easily included in this model. 相似文献

The attenuation of chemical elements in acidic leachates from coal mineral wastes by soils 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The chemical attenuation of acidity and selected elements (aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, fluorine,
iron, manganese, nickel, and zinc) in acidic leachates from coal mineral wastes by four natural subsurface soils has been
investigated using laboratory column methods Leachate solutions were allowed to percolate through the soils under simulated
natural flow conditions, and the elemental concentrations in the influents and effluents were measured periodically Elemental
retentions were substantial for all species except managanese, which was eluted in excess from all soils except the most calcareous
Two processes appeared to operate in decreasing influent concentrations: (1) precipitation of solid phases caused by increased
pH of the leachate as it percolated through the soil, and (2) adsorption of elements onto exchange and sorption sites naturally
present in the soil and on iron and aluminum oxide precipitates formed in situ from leachate components because of the increased
pH The soil property most important in retention was its alkalinity Thus, carbonaceous soils provide the best control material
for acidic leachates from coal mineral wastes. Results show that natural soils can substantially reduce pollutant fluxes to
the environment from acidic coal waste dumps and should be considered when selecting waste disposal sites

The ability of Chromolaena odorata to accumulate and serve as biomarker to lead and cadmium metals pollution load had been revealed by this study. Samples of soils and Siam weed were collected to assess impacts of solid waste disposal and traffic density on the environment. Composite sample were collected from a solid waste dumpsite, three traffic polluted areas with varying traffic density and a background site distant from traffic. Concentration of eight elements: cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, nickel, lead and zinc were determined in soil and plant samples and correlated together. Accumulative factors like pollution load index, transfer factor, contamination factor, enrichment factor were calculated for the metals in both plants and soils and used as basis for interpreting the state of the environment and ability of C. odorata to accumulate metals. The accumulative factors of plants were generally greater than that of soil samples indicating increased accumulative capacity of the plant. The accumulations of lead and cadmium in C. odorata were remarkable with contamination factor 10.51 and 23.50, respectively and mean enrichment factors 3.52 and 6.93, respectively. Other metals had lower accumulative factors. The distribution of metals and calculated factors placed solid waste disposal site as the most polluted site while the trend observed in areas with traffic pollution depicts the ability of C. odorata to clean up metal pollution by accumulating them. It can therefore be suggested that solid waste disposal negatively affects the environment more than traffic pollution subject to the volume of traffic. 相似文献

This paper focuses attention on the some basic aspects of the role of clay fraction of marly soils including palygorskite and sepiolite upon marl behaviour. The clay fraction of marl is generally dominated by palygorskite and/or sepiolite. It is the performance of these clay soil fractions that are the root cause of many of the problems encountered in the use of such soils as load-bearing materials. This makes it necessary to investigate the role of palygorskite and sepiolite on marly soil's performance. In this paper, some geotechnical and geoenvironmental aspects of marl behaviour is investigated and a new definition and classification of marly soils is presented. This classification focuses attention on the presence of palygorskite or sepiolite as the major fraction of marl, which governs its geoenvironmental and geotechnical behaviour. 相似文献

Contamination of the unsaturated zone and ground water at the Beatty, Nevada and Richland, Washington low-level radioactive
waste sites shows that pathways exist for rapid lateral and vertical migration of contaminants through unconsolidated clastic
sediments that comprise the 100 m-thick unsaturated zones of those arid disposal sites. Disposal of liquid wastes at the Beatty
site until 1975 may have contributed to rapid migration of contaminants, but negligible amounts of liquid wastes reportedly
were disposed at the Richland LLRW site and similar problems of contaminant migration exist. Pathways for vertical migration
in the unsaturated zone include fractures and, at Richland, clastic dikes; lateral migration pathways likely are facies-controlled.
Disturbance of the disposal sites contributed to increased infiltration of the unlined waste trenches after closure; simulations
that used Beatty sample data show dramatic increases in recharge with disturbances necessary to develop the site. Because
neither an arid climate nor presence of a thick unsaturated zone offer effective barriers to ground-water contamination, reliance
on those factors at proposed sites such as Ward Valley, California and elsewhere is unwarranted.

黏性土渗透性温度效应实验研究 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
由于全球气候变暖、城市热岛效应加剧和核废料地质处置等原因,温度对黏性土工程性质的影响日益受到关注。本文在实验的基础上,采用直接测量法,对南京下蜀土、淤泥质土以及混合土3种试样,进行了5°～45°温度下的变水头渗透实验,分析了温度对黏性土渗透性的影响。实验结果表明:温度对3种试样的渗透性均有较大影响。温度越高,渗透性越大;试样的密度越大,渗透系数随温度变化率越低;在3种试样中,混合土的渗透系数高于淤泥质土和下蜀土的对应值,而淤泥质土的渗透系数又略大于下蜀土。最后对黏性土渗透性的温度效应机理进行了分析,认为水的动力黏滞性,黏粒的双电层厚度以及土的微结构三方面因素的共同作用引起了黏性土渗透性的温度效应。 相似文献

A thermodynamically consistent extension of the constitutive equations of saturated soils to unsaturated conditions is often worked out through the use of a unique ‘effective’ interstitial pressure, accounting equivalently for the pressures of the saturating fluids acting separately on the internal solid walls of the pore network. The natural candidate for this effective interstitial pressure is the space averaged interstitial pressure. In contrast experimental observations have revealed that, at least, a pair of stress state variables was needed for a suitable framework to describe stress–strain–strength behaviour of unsaturated soils. The thermodynamics analysis presented here shows that the most general approach to the behaviour of unsaturated soils actually requires three stress state variables: the suction, which is required to describe the invasion of the soil by the liquid water phase through the retention curve; two effective stresses, which are required to describe the soil deformation at water saturation held constant. However a simple assumption related to the plastic flow rule leads to the final need of only a Bishop-like effective stress to formulate the stress–strain constitutive equation describing the soil deformation, while the retention properties still involve the suction and possibly the deformation. Commonly accepted models for unsaturated soils, that is the Barcelona Basic Model and any approach based on the use of an effective averaged interstitial pressure, appear as special extreme cases of the thermodynamic formulation proposed here. 相似文献

The influence of temperature on the hydraulic properties of unsaturated clays is of major concern in the design of engineered barriers in underground repositories for high-level radioactive waste disposal. This paper presents an experimental study centred on the investigation of the influence of temperature on soil hydraulic properties related to water retention and permeability. Laboratory tests were conducted on artificially prepared unsaturated fabrics obtained from a natural kaolinitic-illitic clay. Special attention is given to the testing procedures involving controlled suction and temperature oedometer cells and the application of the vapour equilibrium technique at high temperatures. Retention curves at different temperatures show that total suction tends to reduce with increasing temperatures at constant water content. Temperature influence on water permeability is more relevant at low matric suctions corresponding to bulk water preponderance (inter-aggregate zone). Below a degree of saturation of 75% no clear effect is detected. Experimental data show that temperature dependence on permeability at constant degree of saturation and constant void ratio is smaller than what could be expected from the thermal change in water viscosity. This behaviour suggests that phenomena such as porosity redistribution and thermo-chemical interactions, which alter clay fabric and pore fluid, can be relevant. 相似文献

Iron and Mn oxides and associated radionuclides in soils and sediments from the radioactive waste burial grounds at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been selectively extracted using wet chemical techniques. Product-moment-correlation analyses have demonstrated that 60Co and various actinides, principally 244Cm, 241Am and 238Pu are dominantly associated with Mn oxides. Correlation coefficients between these radionuclides and Fe oxides and organic C are generally very low. The important role of Mn oxides in radionuclide adsorption is attributed to their unique surface and colloidal properties. The data illustrate the importance of the Mn oxide component of soils and sediments in controlling transition metal and actinide solubility.These results suggest two major implications for the disposal of radioactive waste. First, in order to minimize future 60Co and actinide mobilization from disposal sites, a chemical environment in which Mn oxides are least soluble should be maintained. Second, the liberal use of Mn oxides in waste management operations might improve long-term retention of these radionuclides. Deep-sea Mn modules, which may in the future be mined for their trace metal contents, could serve as a ready supply of Mn oxide for waste disposal applications. 相似文献

Unsaturated soils are highly heterogeneous 3‐phase porous media. Variations of temperature, the degree of saturation, and density have dramatic impacts on the hydro‐mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils. To model all these features, we present a thermo‐hydro‐plastic model in which the hydro‐mechanical hardening and thermal softening are incorporated in a hierarchical fashion for unsaturated soils. This novel constitutive model can capture heterogeneities in density, suction, the degree of saturation, and temperature. Specifically, this constitutive model has 2 ingredients: (1) it has a “mesoscale” mechanical state variable—porosity and 3 environmental state variables—suction, the degree of saturation, and temperature; (2) both temperature and mechanical effects on water retention properties are taken into account. The return mapping algorithm is applied to implement this model at Gauss point assuming an infinitesimal strain. At each time step, the return mapping is conducted only in principal elastic strain space, assuming no return mapping in suction and temperature. The numerical results obtained by this constitutive model are compared with the experimental results. It shows that the proposed model can simulate the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils with satisfaction. We also conduct shear band analysis of an unsaturated soil specimen under plane strain condition to demonstrate the impact of temperature variation on shear banding triggered by initial material heterogeneities. 相似文献

In the mining complex of Kherzet Youcef, including the Chaabet-el-Hamra mine and processing plant, chemical analyzes were carried out on soil and sediment samples and exceeded the normative guidelines for zinc, lead, and cadmium except a small area in the foothills. X-ray diffractometer analyzes confirmed the presence of a considerable inclusion of sulfides (up to 20%), such as pyrite, marcasite (FeS2) and sphalerite (ZnS) especially at the liquid waste disposal site and technogenic sediments. To predict changes in the mineral composition of soils and waste under the condition of their contact with rain water and to assess the potential contamination of ground waters, a thermodynamic model SELECTOR was applied on selected samples. The results of this study conclude that the calculated equilibrium mineral composition is very close to the real phase composition only for the least polluted soils. For technogenic sediments or waste, the equilibrium mineral composition differs significantly from the experimental one. The modeling of potential transition of the main pollutants in water soluble forms allows concluding that in the study area should be feared of exceeding of normative guidelines of cadmium, zinc, and lead. 相似文献

This paper introduces an unconventional constitutive model for soils, which deals with a unified thermo‐mechanical modelling for unsaturated soils. The relevant temperature and suction effects are studied in light of elasto‐plasticity. A generalized effective stress framework is adopted, which includes a number of intrinsic thermo‐hydro‐mechanical connections, to represent the stress state in the soil. Two coupled constitutive aspects are used to fully describe the non‐isothermal behaviour. The mechanical constitutive part is built on the concepts of bounding surface theory and multi‐mechanism plasticity, whereas water retention characteristics are described using elasto‐plasticity to reproduce the hysteretic response and the effect of temperature and dry density on retention properties. The theoretical formulation is supported by comparisons with experimental results on two compacted clays. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The contamination of soils by metals issuing from municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in tropical environments has hardly been studied with regard to the particular problems associated with them, i.e., generally a high permeability of soils despite the abundance of clay, and the role of reactive Fe compounds. From a previous geotechnical and chemical survey, three latosol profiles differently affected by MSW leachates in the region of Londrina (Paraná, Brazil) were selected. The aims were to evaluate the extent of their contamination, to better understand the fate of potentially harmful metals in tropical soils and rank the determining factors. Samples between 0.5 and 7 m depth were analyzed for their physical, mineralogical and chemical properties, and their micro-morphology was described by optical and transmission electron microscopy. Two steps of a sequential extraction procedure helped to assess the mobility of elements and to better discriminate between metals originating from pedogenesis and issued from MSW. These combined approaches showed that exposed soil profiles have been impacted at various depths, down to 7 m, through increased metal content, especially enhanced mobility of Zn, Co, Mn, Cu and Fe, and through increased salinity and organic matter. The mobility of potentially harmful metals should decrease with pH, which significantly increased in some impacted horizons, but other factors can reverse this trend. 相似文献

About 70 percent of hazardous waste sites listed in the National Priority List (NPL) have some groundwater contamination that may require remediation. Such remediation is inadequate if the unsaturated soils above will continue to act as a source of groundwater contamination. Consequently, for most of these sites, it becomes necessary to determine what the cleanup levels for contaminants in soils should be so that subsequent contribution of contaminants from these soils to groundwater would not exceed groundwater protection levels. Representation of the dynamics of interactions between contaminants and soils is very complex, requiring among others, a thorough understanding of the chemical processes that influence the behavior of the contaminant once it enters the subsurface. Because of such complexities, environmental professionals frequently utilize methods with very simple assumptions that tend to err on the conservative side. While the public may feel protected, the needless spending of dollars could be avoided if attempts are made to incorporate, where possible, such complexities in the modeling efforts so that the system is represented as accurately as possible. 相似文献

An unsaturated soil is a state of the soil. All soils can be partially saturated with water. Therefore, constitutive models for soils should ideally represent the soil behaviour over entire ranges of possible pore pressure and stress values and allow arbitrary stress and hydraulic paths within these ranges. The last two decades or so have seen significant advances in modelling unsaturated soil behaviour. This paper presents a review of constitutive models for unsaturated soils. In particular, it focuses on the fundamental principles that govern the volume change, shear strength, yield stress, water retention and hydro-mechanical coupling. Alternative forms of these principles are critically examined in terms of their predictive capacity for experimental data, the consistency between these principles and the continuity between saturated and unsaturated states. 相似文献
