Plume detachment and recession times in fractured rock

The influence of source zone concentration reduction on solute plume detachment and recession times in fractured rock was investigated using new semianalytical solutions to transient solute transport in the presence of advection, dispersion, sorption, matrix diffusion, and first-order decay. Novel a...

520 |a The influence of source zone concentration reduction on solute plume detachment and recession times in fractured rock was investigated using new semianalytical solutions to transient solute transport in the presence of advection, dispersion, sorption, matrix diffusion, and first-order decay. Novel aspects of these solutions are: (1) the source zone concentration behavior is simulated using a constant concentration with the option for either an instantaneous reduction to zero concentration or an exponentially decaying source zone concentration initiated at some time (t*) after the source is introduced, and (2) different biodegradation rates in the fracture and rock matrix. These solutions were applied for sandstone bedrock and revealed that biodegradation in the matrix, not the fracture, may be the most significant attenuation mechanism and therefore may dictate remediation time scales. Also, instantaneous and complete source concentration reduction in aged plumes may not be beneficial with respect to plume response because back-diffusion can sustain plume migration for long periods of time. Moderate source zone concentration reduction has a similar impact on the rate of advance of the leading edge of the plume as aggressive concentration reduction. If the source zone concentration reduction half-life is less than the plume decay half-life, then volatile organic compound (VOC) mass sequestered in the rock matrix will ultimately dictate plume persistence and not the presence of the source zone
