NAPL Migration in the Subsurface (Dec 18, 2024)

Contaminated Site Clean-Up Information (CLU-IN): Internet Seminar Video Archives

A wide variety of organic wastes, commonly referred to as nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs), are contaminating soils and groundwater. The physical properties of these NAPLs, including their density, volatility, and viscosity determine how they flow through soils, and understanding their flow in soils is key to understanding how to characterize and remediate NAPL sites. This presentation will include the properties of common NAPLs and describe how they migrate in soils. Future presentations will discuss approaches to characterizing NAPL sites, and how NAPLs can be remediated using thermal remediation techniques.
