Title: Fundamental quantitative analysis of microbial activity in aquifer bioreclamation; and Modeling the transport of biologically and chemically reactive solutes in a two-dimensional, heterogeneous intermediate scale system. Semi-annual progress report, August 1991--March 1992

Abstract

This report is the semi-annual progress report for the second half of the third year. The project has four primary areas: (1) biodegradation of poorly soluble organic contaminants; (2) dual-limitation kinetics of electron donors and acceptors; (3) two-dimensional modeling of biofilm reactions in nonhomogeneous porous media; and (4) biologically induced clogging in porous media. For each area, this report presents a brief summary of the previous progress, as well as reporting this period`s progress. In addition plans for future work are included.

  • The objectives of the proposed study are: (1) to investigate factors controlling the fate and transport of contaminants in heterogeneous unsaturated soils, and (2) to develop a computationally feasible methodology for predicting chemical movements in large-scale unsaturated zone. The proposed study will provide ways to estimate uncertainties in chemical transport due to spatial variability of soil hydrologic parameters. The uncertainty analysis is essential to interpretation of any field experiment of transport of chemically reactive tracers. Without eliminating the uncertainty due to heterogeneity in hydrologic parameters, mechanisms and principles controlling chemical behaviors of contaminants in the field condition may be misinterpreted.

    This project report contains two types of reports. The first type is a quarterly internal progress report. The purpose of the internal reports is to keep all members of the research team abreast with developments in each area. The second type is a semi-annual report that is transmitted to DOE and PNL. Its main purpose is to inform the project sponsors of the research-team's progress and plans. This report is the second semi-annual progress report. The project has four primary areas including biodegradation of poorly soluble organic contaminants, dual-limitation kinetics of electron donors and acceptors, two-dimensional modeling of biofilm reactionsmore » in nonhomogeneous porous media, and biologically induced clogging in porous media. 26 refs., 32 figs., 2 tabs.« less
