In conjunction with natural attenuation, adsorption and desorption kinetics of surfactant are of interest if other remediation technologies, such as pump and treat, are used. A soil solution ratio of 2:1 with equilibrium times of 48 and 40 h for adsorption and desorption, respectively, was found to produce representative kinetics. The adsorption and desorption partition coefficients for TCE in water are 1.25 mL/g and 11.25 mL/g, respectively. The difference in these values is attributed to the heterogeneous nature of the test soil and hindered diffusion through the intraparticles of the soil and organic matter. Sorption of TCE to glacial till is reduced during adsorption and desorption testing with the use of a surfactant due to a decrease in interfacial tension and an increase in micellar solubilization. However, the effects of surfactant concentrations greater than 4 percent are minimal. The sodium chloride concentration is also varied during testing. As salinity increases, the adsorption and desorption coefficients increase and the solubility potential decreases for the same surfactant concentration. These results are attributed to Winsor Type phase changes that were observed independently of adsorption and desorption testing by varying the amounts of surfactant and sodium chloride with TCE. The methods used and results obtained from the testing program are described, and the mobility of the TCE within the test soil in view of the test parameters is discussed. }, number={1755}, journal={Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board}, publisher={Transportation Research Board}, author={Gates, Kimberly and Aragona, Keith and Sabodish, Michael and Gabr, M.}, year={2001}, month={Jan}, pages={141–148} }

Results indicated the achievement of an average flow rate of 16.7 mL/s for the five PVD systems. Grab samples from the effluent indicated an increase in retrieved BTEX concentration with time. Maximum retrieved concentrations in a 2-day period were ∼0.4 mg/L for benzene, 0.27 mg/L for toluene, 0.19 mg/L for ethylbenzene, and 0.025 mg/L for xylene. Based on the limited results of the pilot scale test, a full-scale remediation of the site using the PVDs system is deemed feasible.}, number={7}, journal={Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering}, publisher={American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)}, author={Gabr, M.
