Title: The Role of Micropore Structure in Contaminant Sorption and Desorption
Investigators: Reinhard, Martin
Institution: Stanford University
EPA Project Officer: Lasat, Mitch
Project Period: September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2006
RFA: Hazardous Substance Research Centers - HSRC (2001)
Research Category: Hazardous Waste/Remediation
Description:
Objective:The overall goal of this project is to develop a better understanding of the impact of soil nanopores on the fate and transport of halogenated hydrocarbon contaminants. Specific project goals are to: (1) study the kinetics of slow sorption and desorption of halogenated hydrocarbons in aquifer sediment; and (2) determine the effect of sorption on contaminant reactivity. Results will allow us to better predict natural attenuation of hydrocarbon compounds in aquifers and assess the risks associated with groundwater aquifers contaminated by halogenated hydrocarbons.
