This paper describes the evaluation of mixed region vapor stripping (MRVS) coupled with calcium oxide conditioning for removing trichloroethylene (TCE) for a site underlain by saturated clay soils. Volatile organic compound removal during MRVS with and without calcium oxide conditioning were simulated using a previously developed model. The results of the modeling were compared with laboratory MRVS tests on undisturbed soil cores taken from the study site. The modeling results were consistent with laboratory simulations of MRVS on field-contaminated soils from the study site, and showed that calcium oxide conditioning is an effective method for enhancing VOC removal efficiencies in saturated clay soils.
