Understanding heat transfer in groundwater is important for the design of LTTT applications. In this study, the effect of permeability heterogeneity on temperature distributions during and after the application of heat was investigated by numerical modeling. An enhanced reaction zone was determined for the hydrolysis of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) using an average half-life considering the temperature history during and after heating. For hydrolysis reactions, the average half-life could be reduced substantially by reaching a high temperature for a short period of time because their reaction rates increase exponentially with increased temperatures. Results showed that the enhanced reaction zone was shifted downstream of the heater well zone at high groundwater velocities. This suggests that heaters should be shifted upstream of the target treatment zone to fully utilize the applied heat. In addition, permeability heterogeneity leads to greater macroscopic dispersion at higher velocities. This resulted in higher spreading of heat and faster heat dissipation in the simulations with a heterogeneous permeability condition compared with a homogenous permeability condition. As a result, the enhanced reaction zone was smaller in simulations with higher levels of permeability heterogeneity at a mean velocity of 0.3 m/day.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 1","pages":"72-82"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135093075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to determine if the native microorganisms collected from a site contaminated with chlorate and chromate can lower the concentration of these chemicals in groundwater to acceptable regulatory levels. Several anaerobic microcosm experiments were conducted with synthetic groundwater (media), native microorganisms, acetate as an electron donor, nitrogen, phosphorus, and minerals. The microorganisms utilized 2200 mg/L acetate to remove 1000 mg/L of chlorate and 3 mg/L of hexavalent chromium entirely from the media provided that the groundwater is supplemented with additional nitrogen and phosphorous (with the Carbon:Nitrogen:Phosphorous molar ratio of 100:10:5). The added trace minerals solution prepared based on American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 1191 medium did not improve the remediation process. Native microbial culture derived from the contaminated site removed the chlorate and chromate from the synthetic groundwater at 20 °C in about 40 days. The same removal was achieved at 10 °C, but in a longer timespan of 80 days.

Understanding ambient flow in open boreholes is important for tracking of cross contamination in groundwater. Chlorinated volatile organic compound (CVOC) concentrations from three open boreholes set in a crystalline-rock aquifer (two of three open boreholes) and a siltstone aquifer (one of three open boreholes) were examined using a new approach and associated software program called the AFCE (Aqueous-Flow-Concentration-Estimator). The program allows comparison of coupled chemical datasets through a Monte-Carlo simulation and a chemical-budget approach to assess ambient groundwater flow in open boreholes. The coupled datasets required for the comparison include aqueous CVOC concentrations from groundwater samples from (1) discrete fractures, such as those measured from temporary deployment of straddle-borehole packer assemblies; and (2) the concentration of the open borehole (wellbore) water, as measured by a vertical profile of passive samplers from within the same open borehole. Because results from the passive samplers represent a composite mixture of the results from the discrete samples under ambient groundwater-flow conditions, potentially at unknown proportions, the comparison between coupled datasets affords the ability to discern likely water contributions of CVOC from discrete fractures (or fracture zones), and which fractures may be dominating the water chemistry of the open borehole.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 1","pages":"57-71"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124540844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
