A midwest farm is contaminated with Aldrin. Preliminary tests indicate that most of the contamination is below the water table. The contaminant concentration in ground-water averages 1.2 mg/L. The measured soil organic carbon is 0.3%, and pure water occupies 50% of the aquifer volume. Estimate the Koc, Kp, and S.
log Kow of Aldrin is 6.5

Contaminant sorption and flow in subsurface environment (12 points) An aquifer is contaminated due to a recent spill of a certain industrial solvent. The aquifer has a hydraulic head difference of 0.01 m as measured by two piezometers about 2 m apart along the direction of groundwater flow. The aquifer has a porosity of 0.3, organic carbon (foc) of 1.7%, soil particle density of 2.6 g/cm, and hydraulic conductivity (K) of 2.5 x 10-3 cm/sec The solvent has a log...

A mixture of benzene, Napthalene, trichloroethylene and chlorobenzene were found in a groundwater plume. Consider the partitioning of these four compounds in a contaminated soil. Assume that the hydrocarbon mixture has contaminated the soil at an average of 0.09 liters of the mixture per cubic meter of soil. Considering the soil above and below the water table (ie. each cubic meter is 60% saturated with water by volume). The soil contains 0.75% organic carbon and has a porosity of 30%...
