Tile development of a porous iron-oxide coated sand filter system can be modelled with the analytical solution of tile transport equation in order to obtain the operating parameters and investigate the mechanism of arsenic removal. The adsorbed amount from the model simulation showed the limitation of adsorption removal during arsenic transport. A loss reaction term in the transport equation plays a role in the mass loss in column conditions, and then resulted into the better model fitting, particularly, for arsenate. Further, the competitive oxyanions delayed the breakthrough near MCL (10 $\mu$g/L) due to the competitive adsorption. This is the reason why arsenate can be strongly attracted in tile interface of an iron-oxide coated sand, and competing oxyanions can occupy the adsorption sites. Therefore, arsenic retention was regulated by non-equilibrium of arsenic adsorption in a porous iron-oxide coated sand media. The transport-limited process seemed to be affect the arsenic adsorption by coated sand.

The accurate determination of formation density and the physical properties of rocks is the most critical logging tasks which can be obtained using gamma-ray transport and detection tools. Though the simulation works published so far have considerably improved the knowledge of the parameters that govern the responses of the detectors in these tools, recent studies have found considerable differences between the results of using a conventional model of a homogeneous mixture of formation and fluid and an inhomogeneous fractured medium. It has increased concerns about the importance of the complexity of the model used for the medium in simulation works. In the present study, we have suggested two various models for the flow of the fluid in porous media and fractured rock to be used for logging purposes. For a typical gamma-gamma logging tool containing a ¹³⁷Cs source and two NaI detectors, simulated by using the MCNPX code, a simplified porous (SP) model in which the formation is filled with elongated rectangular cubes loaded with either mineral material or oil was investigated. In this model, the oil directly reaches the top of the medium and the connection between the pores is not guaranteed. In the other model, the medium is a large 3-D matrix of 1 cm³ randomly filled cubes. The designed algorithm to fill the matrix sites is so that this realistic random (RR) model provides the continuum growth of oil flow in various disordered directions and, therefore, fulfills the concerns about modeling the rock textures consist of extremely complex pore structures. For an arbitrary set of oil concentrations and various formation materials, the response of the detectors in the logging tool has been considered as a criterion to assess the effect of modeling for the distribution of pores in the formation on simulation studies. The results show that defining a RR model for describing heterogeneities of a porous medium does not effectively improve the prediction of the responses of logging tools. Taking into account the computational cost of the particle transport in the complex geometries in the Monte Carlo method, the SP model can be satisfactory for gamma-gamma logging purposes.

다공성 매질을 통한 방사성 핵종의 콜로이드에 의한 이동을 실험과 새로운 모델을 도입하여 살펴보았다. 본 실험에서는 기존의 컬럼 슬라이스 방법을 개선하기 위하여 비파괴 스캐닝 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 장치를 이용하여 기존의 방법보다 훨씬 많은 핵종이동에 관한 자료를 측정하였다. 중성자조사를 시킨 진흙 입자와 여기에 방사성 핵종을 흡착시켜 콜로이드 입자를 만들었다. 실험결과 콜로이드 입자의 크기 분포에도 불구하고 콜로이드 여과계수는 2개의 그룹으로 명백히 구분되었다. 이를 모사하기 위하여 2개의 파라미터를 이용한 새로운 모델식이 개발되었고, 모델식은 실험결과를 잘 모사하였다. 흡착된 핵종중 $^{137}$Cs은 주로 콜로이드 형태로 이동하였으나 $^{Sr}$ 은 그렇지 않았다.

Physical parameters such as porosity and effective porosity are important physical parameters that determine the transfer and movement of water and solutes in porous media. Various methods of determining these parameters have been developed, with varying degrees of accuracy and applicability. Most of the existing methods produce static results. They do not produce instantaneous and real time of porosity and effective porosity in a porous media. In this study, a new permittivity method called Frequency Domain Reflectometry with Vector analyzer (FDR-V) is proposed to determine the porosity and effective porosity of some sand samples in the laboratory. The advantage of the FDR-V method is that it instantaneously determines the temporal variation of dielectric constants of porous media. Then, the porosity and the effective porosity of porous media are computed using well established empirical equations. Results obtained from the FDR-V method compared favorably with results from other permittivity methods such as gravimetric, injection and replacement tests. The ratio of effective porosity to porosity was $85{\sim}92%$, when FDR-V was used. This value compared favourably with 90%, which has been usually quoted in previous studies. Considering the convenience and its applicability, the measurement system of FDR-V permittivity holds a great potential in porous media and contaminant transport studies.

In the developing country like India, groundwater is the main sources for household, irrigation and industrial use. Its contamination poses hydro-geological and environmental concern. The hazardous waste sites such as landfills can lead to contamination of ground water. The contaminants existing at such sites can eventually find ingress down through the soil and into the groundwater in case of leakage. It is necessary to understand the process of migration of pollutants through sub-surface porous medium for avoiding health risks. On this backdrop, the present paper investigates the behavior of pollutants' migration through porous media. The laboratory experiments were carried out on a soil-column model that represents porous media. Two different types of soils (standard sand and red soil) were considered as the media. Further, two different solutes, i.e., non-reactive and reactive, were used. The experimental results are simulated through numerical modeling. The percentage variation in the experimental and numerical results is found to be in the range of 0.75- 11.23 % and 0.84 - 1.26% in case of standard sand and red soil, respectively. While a close agreement is observed in most of the breakthrough curves obtained experimentally and numerically, good agreement is seen in either result in one case.

Transport of Escherichia coli ATCC 11105 through porous media was investigated in this study using two sets of column experiments to quantify the attachment-related parameters (sticking efficiency, attachment rate coefficient and filter factor). The first set of experiments was performed in quartz sand under different ionic strength conditions (1, 20, 100, 200 mM) while the second experiments were carried out in quartz sand mixed with metal oxyhydroxide-coated sand (0, 5, 10, 25%). The breakthrough curves of bacteria were obtained by monitoring effluent, and then bacterial mass recovery and attachment-related parameters were quantified from these curves. The first experiments showed that the mass recoveries were in the range of 13.3 to 64.7%, decreasing with increasing ionic strength. In the second experiments, the mass recoveries were in the range of 15.0 to 43.4%, decreasing with increasing coated sand content. The analysis indicated that the sticking efficiency, attachment rate coefficient and filter factor increased with increasing ionic strength and coated sand content. The value of filter factor in the first experiments ranged from 1.45 e-2 to 6.72 e-2 1/cm while in the second experiments it ranged from 2.78 e-2 to 6.32 e-2 1/cm. Our filter factor values are one order of magnitude lower than those from other studies. This discrepancy can be attributed to the size of sand used in the experiment. The analysis demonstrated that the travel distance of bacteria estimated using the filter factor can be varied greatly depending on the solution chemistry and charge heterogeneity of porous media.

Contaminant transport has been widely studied in rigid porous media, but there are some cases where a large volumetric stain occurs such as dewatering of dredged contaminated sediment, landfill liner, and in-situ capping. This paper presents a numerical investigation of contaminant transport coupled with large strain consolidation. Consolidation test was performed with contaminated sediments collected in Gary, Indiana, U.S. to obtain constitutive relationships, which are required for numerical simulations. Numerical results using CST2 show an excellent agreement with measured settlement and excess pore pressure. CST2 is then used to simulate contaminant transport during and after in-situ capping. Numerical simulations provide that transient advective flows caused by consolidation significantly increase the contaminant transport rate. In addition, the numerical simulations revealed that active capping with Reactive Core Mat (RCM) significantly decelerates consolidation-induced contaminant transport.

지반을 대상으로 지하수의 이동 및 오염물질 침투에 대한 평가를 위해, 지반을 구성하고 있는 매질의 공극률과 유효공극률을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이들은 물질 이동을 결정하는 중요한 물리적 파라메터이다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 유전율 시스템인 FOR-V (Frequency domain reflectometry with vector network analyzer)를 적용하여 표준사 (Standard sand)와 강모래 (River sand)에 대한 공극률 및 유효공극률을 측정하기 위한 실험적 연구를 실시하였다. 또한, 이들을 측정하기 위해, 다공질 매질에 대한 유전율상수의 특성을 고려한 유전율 믹싱모델 (dielectric FDR-V 시스템을 적용한 주입실험 (Injection test)과 주입물질의 농도를 측정하는 치환실험 (Replacement test)을 수행하였다. 두 종류의 실험 결과치를 비교한 결과, 측정된 유효공극률을 공극률과 비교해 보면, 약 85 - 92 %의 범위 내에 존재하는 것으로 측정되었다. 일반적인 흙의 유효공극률은 공극률에 대해 약 90 % 범위 내에 분포하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 본 연구에서는 다소 낮은 결과치를 보이고 있다. 이러한 현상은 시스템의 측정 프로브의 측정 범위가 직경 0.36 cm의 동축측정프로브 끝부분에서 이루어져 비교적 작기 때문에 제작된 흙 시료전 체적에 대한 유효공극률의 결과치이기 보다는 프로브가 위치한 지점에 대한 측정치로 판단된다. 이러한 측정 프로브의 특성을 고려해 볼 때, FDR-V 시스템은 연구자가 의도한 연구에 따라 특정 지점에 대한 지반의 정밀한 물리적 특성을 파악할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

다공성 매질에서 오염물 이동에 지배적인 기작인 역학적 분산은 공극 내 유속 차이에 의해서 발생한다. 종분산계수와 종분산지수는 이송확산 모형의 수리분산 매개변수이며, 실험을 통하여 얻어야만 한다. 수리평균반경은 공극 내 물의 흐름 양의 크기와 강도를 표현할 수 있으며, 매질의 물리적 특성인자를 이용하여 계산할 수 있다. 본 연구는 순간주입 추적자실험을 통하여 자갈 다공성매질에서 수리평균반경을 이용하여 종분산지수를 구할 수 있는 거듭제곱형의 경험식을 도출하였다. 경험식은 스케일상수 계산식이 포함되어 있어 이동거리에 따른 종분산지수의 산정이 가능하며, 소규모 유량의 균질한 자갈로 구성된 수로에 적용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
