The nonaqueous-phase liquid (NAPL)-water interfacial area and the mass transfer rate across the NAPL and water interface are often key factors in in situ groundwater pollution treatment. In this study, the NAPL-water interfacial area and residual NAPL saturation were measured using interfacial and partitioning tracer tests in a two-dimensional flow cell. The results were compared with previous column and field experiment results. In addition, the mass transfer rates at various NAPL-water interfacial areas were investigated. Fe-activated persulfate was used for in situ chemical oxidation remediation to remove NAPL gradually. The results showed that the reduction of NAPL-water interfacial areas as well as NAPL saturation by chemical oxidation caused a linear decrease in the interphase mass transfer rates (R = 0.97), revealing the relationship between mass transfer rates and interfacial areas in a two-dimensional system. The NAPL oxidation rates decreased with the reduction of interfacial areas, owing to the control of NAPL mass transfer into the aqueous phase.
非水相液体(NAPL)-水界面面积以及跨NAPL与水界面的传质速率通常是原位地下水污染治理中的关键因素。在本研究中,利用二维流动槽中的界面和分配示踪剂试验测量了NAPL-水界面面积和残余NAPL饱和度。将结果与之前的柱实验和现场实验结果进行了比较。此外,还研究了不同NAPL-水界面面积下的传质速率。采用铁活化过硫酸盐进行原位化学氧化修复以逐步去除NAPL。结果表明,化学氧化导致的NAPL-水界面面积以及NAPL饱和度的降低使相间传质速率呈线性下降(R = 0.97),揭示了二维系统中传质速率与界面面积之间的关系。由于NAPL向水相的传质受到控制,NAPL氧化速率随界面面积的减小而降低。
